Hey guys. Looking to be educated here haha I Have an Aune t1 which i wanted to hook ip to my tv but my tv only had an optical output and headphone out and the aune t1 only has rca inputs! If it wasn't for this site i would have just bought a headphone to rca cable - connected it to my amp and if i got sound i would of thought.... job done! But thats not what i did. I did some research and was told i needed a Digital to Analogue converter (which i have just ordered along with a toslink cable) Needless to say this has cost me alot more money then a headphone to rca cable would have yet both methods would have worked right?
So what is the difference? As you can tell iam pretty clueless but i would like to understand why one method is better then another as oppose to just presuming its better but not knowing why!
Ultimately both methods involve the signal being fed to the amp via rca , The difference being that its being output via optical rather then the headphone jack.
Can someone explain the reasoning for one method over the other please ha
