Greetings,
I soon will be adding a TV and Blu-ray player to my 2-channel stereo. I will not be upgrading to surround sound since my primary use for the stereo is music; listening to movies through it is just a bonus and I don't want any more speakers in my living room.
Video will be sent from BD to TV via HDMI. Considering I have a high-quality outboard 192/24 DAC, I won't be using any analog audio ouputs from the TV or BD. Still, I'm not sure of the best method to output digital audio:
If I send LPCM from BD's optical output to my DAC, won't there be lip sync issues since audio is now bypassing the television's processing? Or:
If I send LPCM from the TV's optical output, will Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA be downsampled from their original sampling rates?
Any suggestions (besides "Go buy an A/V receiver")?
Thanks!
