Best 2-channel audio from TV

Posted by FLR on July 3, 2018 at 06:29:04:
Am buying new TV to put above fireplace. Will have Harbeth P3ESR speakers on bookshelves for my TV and 2-channel audio powered by an integrated amp with built in DAC i.e. Parasound P5. For TV, my primary objective is improved dialogue vs. what generally comes from TV's speakers. No interest in surround sound.

My question is, which form of connection might produce the best sound (for dialogue)? The digital out from TV to DAC, or RCA to RCA (if TV has an RCA out)? Or, does it matter?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
