Hi there thanks for the help, yes ave no phono output on tv so I bought a converter from optical to phono, it must be crap!
Is head fone jack ok to use? Wil this give me the best sound? R whts the best thing to do?
also how do you get better sound playing iphone through amp? Will a dac fix this ?

Yeah headphone jack is ok to use and will give you a decent sound,a higher quality DAC may be better but will cost you a lot of money.
If you are using the headphone output of the iphone then no a DAC will not do anything.If you are using a digital out from the iphone then a good quality DAC may well improve it.
