Dutch & Dutch 8c with multiple sources

I’m really interested in getting the Dutch & Dutch 8c. I want to use a Mac mini for music, however I also want to be able to run the audio from my TV through the them. How would I do this?

I just used an example there are a lot of DACs that can be used as a preamp. Maybe this link will help. https://pura-audio.nl/en/2020/10/13/elementor-4383/
