RE: Streamer with Optical output

Posted by ABliss on February 3, 2020 at 19:03:22:
Sounds like the dac is receiving a lot of jitter from the TV output. Make sure the TV output setting is set to PCM and not Dolby.
If it is, then I would try a different TV or another DAC to see which is the problem. Its hard to find a simple streamer with hdmi in and out.
There are some simple and cheap TV digital to analog converters on Amazon he could try one. They are like $30, with optical in and RCAs output.
