I recently bought a blu-ray movie (Akira) with 192kHz/24bit/14340kbps audio, and I am wondering if there is any way I can get this audio to my headphones.
My current setup is a new 80GB PS3 as my bluray player, and I use a Sharp LC32GP1U 1080p HDTV as my HDTV/computer monitor. My PS3 is connected to my HDTV over HDMI. I was hoping to simply connect my headphones to an audio-out port on my HDTV, but my TV only has a digital audio output (TOSLINK). To my understanding connecting my headhpnes to this requires a headphone amplifier with a built-in DAC that will accept optical input, which costs ~$200.
My other option seems to be to use the old ps2-style RCA connectors that connect to the PS3. My question is though, if I use the RCA connector, will I lose the full 192kHz/24bit audio, and will it output in lower quality? Also, will just a standard 2-female RCA to 3.5mm adapter work?
Thank you for your help
