#RCA SONY TV#
I had to change my TV audio settings to PCM output and then it worked. I connected my Wireworld Supernova 7 Glass Toslink cable from my cable box to my Musical Fidelity M1 DAC and it worked.
I then noticed my TiVo Cable Box has a optical digital output connection (Toslink). Pioneer said there is NO digital signal if HDMI is used for the inout.
Since I am using HDMI from my cable box to my TV, the optical output signal is blocked. I tried the optical (Toslink) output from my Pioneer TV to my Musical Fidelity M1 DAC but discovered it does not work. My next step was to improve the audio from my TV. What do you think?Īs I described above, I am using a coaxial cable from my Sony BDP-S6500 Blu-Ray player to the MD M1 DAC. I selected the Music Hall DAC15.2 because its price is reasonable (under $300) and it supports usb, optical, coaxial connections. There are many DACs on the market that could be used for this. See this link for the Music Hall DAC (If the link does not work, copy it your your browser): I believe the only way to take the audio output from a blu-ray player (without RCA jacks) is to convert the digital signal to analog using a DAC. I know you said you preferred not to buy a DAC.
Hopefully, your blu-ray player has outputs that match the Music Hall DAC. You connect the blu-ray player audio RCA output signal to your pre-amplifier.įor example, the Music Hall DAC15.2 (Amazon price is $249) is a three input solid-state DAC that has 3 digital inputs (usb, optical, coaxial). Do you have a blu-ray player? If, yes, what output jacks does it have? If your blu-ray player has RCA jacks, the audio problem is solved. Unfortunately, in your case, your TV does not have RCA jacks. In my case, I used the HDMI cable to my TV (Video & audio) and ran RCA jacks (audio only) from my TV to my Ayre integrated amplifier. Unfortunately, the newer blu-ray players do NOT have RCA jacks. So I would make a point of arranging things so that the plug and cable cannot accidentally be physically disturbed.Ĥ)Obviously the sonic quality of the circuit in the TV which drives that output is uncertain.Īnother problem I had was that my Sony BDP-S6500 Blu-Ray player (new model priced at $129 at Best Buy) does NOT have RCA output jacks. And a momentary loss of contact between the grounds of the plug and jack could put a large transient into the system. So using an adapter or adapter cable seems well worth trying, although I can envision the following possible concerns:ġ)That output MIGHT not provide enough voltage to drive your system to adequate volume levels, although my guess is you'll be ok in that respect.Ģ)Ground loop hum could possibly be an issue, although again chances are you'll be ok in that respect.ģ)I've never had much faith in the ability of 1/8" and even 1/4" connectors to maintain good contact in the event the plug or cable is physically jarred or disturbed. There won't be an impedance issue using the headphone mini-jack output, as headphone outputs have to have low output impedance or they wouldn't be able to drive most headphones with reasonable results.
