Sound Quality HDD to TV to Active Speakers

[Goran]

I have a pair of active speakers and my music collection is stored on external HDD in flac format (16/44).
I am looking to buy a TV with flac support, connect it to speakers with optical cable, plug the HDD to a TV, and enjoy my music.
Anyone with experience with similar setup?
Since the signal stays in digital domain, I can not see possibilities for compromised sound quality. Or am I missing something?

See your other post:

Why not if you can gaurantee the tv isn’t treating the signal poorly. They’re not really optimised for it.

Personally I wouldn’t want to turn on a tv to listen to music each time.

If your active speakers have more than one digital output I’d look for a cheap chrome cast audio and use that controlled by your digital device of choice. Phone tablet what ever.

But that’s just me

Yeah, but I don't have a way to know if a new TV will treat the signal poorly :-(
Otherwise, I am already using Chromecast, thanks for the suggestion 🙂
