Forgot to mention I have the Apple TV 4, which only has a HDMI output. No optical or coaxial, otherwise yes I would plug directly into the DAC.
Apple TV 4 > TV > DAC
Hi all,
I am a beginner audiophile and have decided to combine my listening space into a TV space as well.
I am wondering if the Apple tv 4 to a TV via HDMI then from the TV to a DAC via TOSLINK is a good idea. I know it will work but does the TV just pass along the digital signal? I also have a TV with analog audio out, i assume this TV has onboard DAC that is inferior to hifi products.
My setup includes Sonographe sd-1b cd player, Sonographe turntable, CJ PF -1 and CJ MF-80's into CJ synthesis speakers.
I want to add the option of TIDAL streaming so I will be putting an Apple TV in there to connect to a TV out to a dac or my preamp. (dont have a dac yet, would like to hear recommendations but as you can see I love CJ)
BTW, does anyone else have a TV in their HIFI setup to watch regular TV or movies? Or is that taboo and best reserved for home theater setups only?
Thanks
