Hi guys, looking for a little advice please. I'm planning on adding a DAC+headphone amp in my living room for late night TV and music listening.
For TV/movies the idea is to use the zone 2 hdmi output of my AVR (Denon 3600) connected to an HDMI extractor, then coax or optical out to the DAC.
The DAC will be sat behind my sofa and will need a cable of about 15 metres to connect to the AVR.
Would I better to have the HDMI extractor behind the sofa and a really short run to the DAC or a short run to the HDMI extractor and a long run for the optical/coax? Or does it not matter either way?
I was originally going to use Bluetooth for the TV/movies but these extractors are so cheap I'd prefer the stability and (hopefully) better performance via optical/coax.
DAC+amp is likely to be either a Topping dx3 pro + or an S.M.S.L. C200 and headphones likely AKG-371, not looking to spend a fortune.
Any help appreciated.
