Electronic Noise, Samsung TV Optical Audio into DAC and Stereo Receiver

[jdrouin]

I have a Samsung TV with only an optical audio output. I purchased a basic DAC so that I could connect it to a stereo Receiver (Arcam A75). When I switch the TV to optical audio out, I can only hear this weird electronic clicking sound.

Any idea what this problem is and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Changed output format on TV to PCM and got sound out of the speakers through the Arcam amp, but far too quiet to listen to. Weird.
