I think I tried the optical out with a cheapy D2A jobby, but the

Did you put both into amp inputs so you could compare?


Too much of a faff in terms of recabling stuff, IIRC.


Headphone outputs often don't produce enough volts for a line in.

I found a Toslink to phono which had an output level control. Allowing
you to set it as required.


We're looking at getting a new telly anyway, I'll check whether any
candidate has RCA output.


When I last looked - for a large screen one - couldn't find one which did.
Despite finding one with a SCART input as well as multiple HDMI and USB.

It seemed real penny pinching on what was an expensive set since they need
analogue to drive the internal speakers and headphone outlet, so wouldn't
have cost much extra.
