Optical out to my DAC

Here's the question. I stream through my Roku and feed my tv the  via HDMI. I also have a two channel system in the same room..ran separately. If I am watching/streaming...say Ausin City Limits and I want to hear the stream on my 2 channel system and watch it on TV. Can I run an Optical cable off the TV or Roku to my stand alone DAC for the sound? If so...is my dac or the TV providing the signal processing?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the responses. So I will try my optical out on the TV and see if I like it...small investment(just the cable).  Didnt think about ... need to change sound choice. It's a Samsung TV.

At least better sound than my sound bar...hopefully. Dual mono should be better than muddled mono...lol.
