Hi all,
I currently have a Hi-Fi set up consisting of Denon M41 and Dali Pico Zensor speakers that I use with a Chromecast audio for most listening at home. Currently set up perfectly in bedroom would rather not move them.
I am playing Rocksmith 2014 and sending audio via the HDMI to the TV is creating massive latency issues so need to solve for this). I need to connect Xbox One via its digital output to external speakers, skipping out the HDMI output.
I have two options in my head:
1) buy something like the Q Acoustics M20, £400, (or older BT3s used, around £160) and connect them via a TOSLINK cable to Xbox One (to connect to TV I would have to swap the TOSLINK every time unless I can find an adapter for TOSLINK to USB-B? Could I output to RCA cable to the speakers? Any suggestions?)
2) Alternatively, I buy Q Acoustics 3030i as starter speakers that I could eventually expand into the full 7.1 3000i speaker package over time; and either use a) cheap, used stereo receiver as a stopgap or b) a fully fledged receiver that is future-proofed (e.g., Denon's latest)
Any suggestions for choosing between these two options? Should I just move the M41 and Dali to the TV and suck it up?
I am erring on the side of 1) for the BT3s because these seem portable and potentially could be used as rear speakers in the future for a surround sound using their line in functionality? Are they expandable in this way?
