Need Input on Higher End Soundbars


Got a new TV and need some input.  I do not have an A/V processor or receiver so I am running the headphone out from the TCL into my Roksan preamp.  It works and it allows me to control the volume with the TCL remote, which is convenient.  It's a kludge.  I thought about replacing the Roksan combo, but I really don't want to do that.  Another idea I came up with was to get a soundbar.  I never had a soundbar, but I just read about Sennheiser and Devialet  making what appear to be high quality soundbars.  A one box Dobly Atmos is attractive to me.  Does anyone have experience with these two products, or could you suggest something similar?

Thanks for your help.

I highly recommend SONOS Arc sound bar along with their Sub. The Sub can be added later but for ultimate experience, it is a must. I got my two rooms setup with them and sound is equally amazing with TV content or streaming music from plethora of cloud based paid and free services. The SONOS app is very intuitive and makes it a breeze to install and control everything. 

A cheap DAC with Toslink out of the TV may be a better solution if you like the Roksan combo....

Personally I think the words High End and Soundbar are mutually exclusive. I get really good sound through my system with the digital out to my DAC. Nice phantom center image when there is dialog and mono content.

@lalitk, thanks for the suggestion.  I will investigate.

@oddiofyl, I actually have a non-cheap DAC that I could do that with, but that won't give me any Dolby Atmos type effects.  I am not thinking of using the soundbar for anything other than streaming TV and watching DVDs.  Truth be told, the way I have it set up now sounds good.  I just want more and better.
