An external DAC would seem to be desirable and necessary. You could run through the TV but I doubt the quality of its DACs.
I thought I read somewhere that external DAC's can not decode the Blu ray into stereo. Is there any truth to this?
I suggest that you get an OPPO BDP-103 Bluray player direct from OPPO.for the following reasons:
1) It will give you vastly improved sound quality for either CD or SACD audio music lsiteming, as well as movies.
2) Its analog audio outputs will feed the sound direct to your amplifier for either music CDs or DVD or Bluray, it never has to go thru the TV (you will need to run a 2nd pair of analog cables from TV to amplifier for normal TV program viewing). It will process the DVD/Bluray sound for optimum 2-channel listening when you make the correct menu selection (the OPPO tech guys will help you thru that on the phone if you are unsure; they are great).
3) Its USB input and built-in high-resolution DAC and wi-fi will give you all sorts of flexibility for music streaming from the internet or from any digital source including your computer.
It is an incredibly good and flexible machine to build a system around; all sorts of flexibility and features and superb sound quality and video processing.
What you have now is very limiting and problematical, and the OPPO will turn that all around.
Yea that sounds perfect. Thanks for the help!
You might also want to consider the Wharfdale 10.2 speakers. They have more bass than the 10.1.
I hear good things about the Jolida amplifiers.
