DAC converter - for optical TV to RCA/phono input amp?

[Max...]

I've tried the generic type below (cheap cr@p) that buzzes and lags like an asthmatic slug.

Please can any learned techs point me to a reasonable DAC that works for this simple purpose? Why on earth they had to save probably $0.50 per TV by deleting good old phono plugs is maddening...

Does the TV have headphone output? You could use that to get an analogue signal out of it.

This would do it but not sure of the quality, at least you have a return option.

Ahh - did not consider that - will check it, would it not be relatively rubbish quality and not line out level though via the HP?

I think the RS DAC is a generic £10 Amazon Chinese jobby with a whacking great mark-up?!

May not be the best, but probably comparable to a cheapo dac.
