Hook up Plasma TV to Audio system


I just bought a Panasonic Plasma smart TV and need to connect to my audio system. The TV has an Optical out and my Pre amp which is a TAD 150 only has RCA connects. WHat low cost connection would benefit my system. I am running through TAD Hibachi monos and Vandy 3aSigs.

Looking at the TAD 150 on line it appears to be two channel only. You can buy a Radio SHack DAC (1500093) for 39.95 and it will give you the option of Toslink or Coax to stereo RCA output. I use it for my wireless headphones in my office and it does just fine. It isn't "audiophile" quality but neither is a signal coming from a TV. If you don't like it you get 30 days to take it back.
It's too bad that the TV manufactures are finding ways to cut sales prices but eliminating input and output selections.
