which TV audio out? headphone mini jack or optical, thru adapter to RCA input on amp?


not sure if I can even use a headphone jack to a line in on my amp or would it damage something?

I wonder how good the optical out thru an adapter to RCA would sound?

my question is: which is likely to sound better?

thanks

Just be sure the optical out of the TV can be set to "PCM" and isn't fixed to Dolby Digital.
   From the FiiO TAISHAN-D03K  description: "....The input will accept up to 24-bit/192 kHz resolution PCM digital audio, but Dolby Digital and DTS are not supported."

Otherwise, you'll need something more expensive like this:

After 4 days the Fiio D03K is starting to come into it's own and sounding pretty good with a nice open quality and decent clarity.

Thanks again tls49!
