Hi hopefully someone here can offer me a bit of advice.
I have a HK980 integrated amp, I bought it for music and it does a nice job.
However I thought I'd also use it to improve the sound when watching films on TV and DVD so plugged in the analogue outputs from the Sky+ box and the PS3.
It does indeed offer a massive improvement over the TV speakers, but the sound is slightly ahead of the TV's (using either source), so there's a bit of a lip sync problem.
Now I know AV amps can adjust for this but I'm not interested in getting one of those at the moment. I think maybe if I take the sound direct from the TV's output, it will sync better - do you agree?
Unfortunately my tv only appears to have optical out, so it would have to go into a DAC first. Now I was thinking about getting one in the future anyway to improve the sound from my Airport Express, so if this would also solve my lip sync problem, I would be more encouraged to buy one sooner.
Any views / suggestions / ideas?
If this question is better suited to a different forum, please feel free to move me on.
