I have recently "discovered" the radio stations included in the Sky Q menu and have been very impressed by the superb audio quality I get listening to either Classic FM or BBC Radio 3. The signal path is: Sky Q satellite box to Samsung smart TV via HDMI cable, TV optical out to an eSync 24 bit DAC digital to analogue converter, (which cost a whole £12.95) then to the NAD amp via Fisual Rio RCA cables, then out to my Wharfedale Diamond 230s. I admit that my hearing is not what it used to be but I can still discern good from bad. This is good. I have no idea which DAC chip is in the eSync box, but whichever it is, it works.
