Two optical sources into one dac

[admin_exported]

Hi all,

I want to get the optical source from my tv and optical source from my airport express into my dac. The dac has 1 optical in and 1 co-axial in with a switch. Is it best to:

a) get an optical switch box - both optical in (buy a switch box and 2 optical leads)

b) get a optical/co-axial converter for the tv (buy converter, co-ax cable and optical cable)

c) just use RCA out of the tv into the amp (buy 1 set of 1.5-2m RCA cables) I have tried this with some maplins interconnects and the sound is sibilant

I do not want to loose any quality from my music (ae), with the tv sound being secondary. I also want it to be cheap. What do you recommend?

Many thanks, Lee

Buy a DAC with two optical inputs.

Nah, I won't be buying a new dac. The MHDT Havana is brilliant and I like it. Plus, I'm more broke than broke can be!

Don't worry, you don't need a new DAC. You just need THIS or THIS if you want the cables bundled in.
