My buddy just got a pair of ATH-AD700's and he's going to be using it with his Samsung 52 inch lcd tv to watch blurays via PS3 and wanted to find what would be the best way to hook up the headphones without loosing any sound quality. I think he needs a splitter cause he needs to have both headphones hooked up simultaneously. What do you guys think is the best way to go to accomplish this?

Try using the audio line out L R RCAs to a headphone Amp. I'm assuming the TV has no headphone jack but even if it does the the headphone amp from the line out will give you superior sq.

RCA audio out jacks > headphone amp > headphone

Optical out to dac, dac to amp, headphone to amp, If ur using it then get some kinda splitter for the optical or a hdmi to hdmi/optical/coax kinda thing. Or if u have a good reciever already u could go monitor from receiver to amp to headphones.
Any of those ways

I just use PS3>Optical out to Zero DAC>Headphones

Since the Zero already has a headphone out, I just use that

This is not the best but I think it is the easiest and cheapest way to do it if you don't want to go through an amp. I also have a Samsung 52 inch.

For only $1.70 each when QTY 50+ purchased - PREMIUM 3.5mm Stereo Female to 2RCA Male 22AWG Cable - 6 inches - Gold Plated | 3.5mm/RCA Audio Cables

I may be wrong but I don't see how that would work. All you need is the type of cable I linked and an extension cable if your headphone cord is not long enough.

The tv doesn't have a HP jack?
My dad's 42" Samsung lcd tv can drive an HD600 when I had one (not as well as my Compass DAC/amp does, but hey, it was close enough). Decent sound quality to boot, as well. For a splitter, you'd need a 3.5mm stereo male to two 3.5mm stereo females, the one you linked has a male 2.5mm plug for cellphones.
