Hi All,
Merry Christmas!
I just bought a Cambridge CXA60 amplifier which has an optical input and an apple TV 4 which doesn't have optical output. The older version of apple TV (ATV3) had optical output. I also have a Smasung smart TV. I connected my ATV4 to my TV using an HDMI cable, and I connected my TV to the amplifire using an optic cable. In a nutshell:
ATV4 --> HDMI --> Smasung TV --> Optic Cable --> Cambridge amplifier
I noticed that, fortunately the HDMI input to optic output bypasses the internal TV amplifier.
My question is: Does it bypass the TV interal DAC too? Do I loose any sound quality through this connection? What other suggestions do you have for me?
Thank you very much!
