When i play music im currently running HDMI from a Windows PC into my TV, then Phono cable from the TV to my Stereo Amp, im really looking forward to bypassing my TV when i play music as having it switched on is so uneconomical, and if i end up with a better DAC than the TV's inbuilt one then that would be great aswell
So i'm going to be buying one of these HDMI Audio Converters soon and im wondering if anyone knows the quality of the Stereo & Toslink DAC on the Octava as it seems the only brand around that are making them?
For example im wondering ifit would it be better to run the Toslink output of the Octava into a better DAC to then take it to Stereo/Phono, or if the onbaord DAC is good enough then surely it would be wiser to go with the Octavas HDMI>Stereo/Phono rather than adding an extra DAC to go HDMI>Toslink>Stereo/Phono?
Thanks in advance
