Sound from my Samsung TV

I use something similar from my Samsung TV (UE40EH5300), a "Neet® DAC - Digital to Analogue Stereo Audio Converter - SPDIF - TOSlink / Coaxial to Stereo Left/Right RCA".

I also bought a "PROZOR DAC Digital SPDIF Toslink to Analog Stereo Audio R/L Converter Adapter with Optical Cable- PS3 XBox HD DVD PS4 Sky HD Plasma Blu-ray Home Cinema" but found that it was clipping at high outputs.

And by high outputs I measure 0.55 Vrms at peak on a 1kHz sine wave... Which isn't enough to drive my DCPP to anywhere near full level.

It will not convert Dolby Pro Logic as it is to stereo or mono only. That is the only issue but as a stereo valve amp will not use 7 channels of signal, it doesn't matter.
If one wants full Dolby, get a sound bar and decoder.

The sound you are getting will be equalized for some pretty odd drivers like the ones I pulled from a dead Samsung set that was in bits in the street.

Hi all,

I recently replaced my "antique" Sony flat-screen TV with a Samsung MU6300 series TV. There are no analog audio outputs to connect to my 2A3 amp. I'm not a digital guy, so I'm looking for suggestions on how to get my tube sound back.

Ideas appreciated.

If you have cable or dish, there should be stereo analog outputs in the rear. My comcast cable box has them but I am not sure about satallite.

I have an older Vizio TV with audio out volume that can't be controlled by remote. I put in a DPDT switch and a pair of jacks to switch from the built in speakers to the jacks. The built in class D amp is about 10 watts and is actually quite decent. Attaching real speakers improves the sound tenfold. I'm satisfied enough that I haven't bothered to trace out the low level outputs and attach another amp.

I've fitted external speakers on Sony TV's for a fair few customers, they sound absolutely amazing (compared with the originals) - I think you're over-thinking it, and that they don't have equalization for the sets drivers (just crap sound quality).

Recently my friend bought new tv and had the same problem...no headphone or line output. He asked for help.
I got hdmi audio extractor from amazon for him.
Amazon.com: hdmi audio extractor

All worked great.
If you do not have amp already, other option worth mentioning is amp with bluetooth.

Now I have his old tv and have no use for it. Anybody wants 47" tv? 🙂

OK, so I got a DAC with optical input, connected it, and it works fine. My problem now is that the TV volume control manages only the built-in speakers. I don't have remote control of my tube amp, so it's always at whatever volume I have set. The manual doesnt address this issue. Any suggestions?
