Hi all,
Hoping to get some advice on my first ever hifi setup that i have in mind. I'll soon be heading to my local hifi store but just wanted to check whether this setup will work.
Basically i'm after turntable + amp + speakers. I'm thinking of an amp like the Rotel RA-12 which has a built-in DAC.
What i want to do is connect the optical out from my tv into the amp, as i have a HTPC + Xbox (which has blu-ray player) which connects via HDMI to the TV.
If i set the options on the TV to output audio via Optical, will it mean that sound from the HTPC will go via HDMI > TV > Optical > Amp > Speakers?
I'm not really interested in a 5.1 setup, i'm just happy to have a pair of decent speakers that i can also use for watching movies from time to time.
Thanks for your help
Andy
