Hi, My Smart TV has Optical OUT and 3.5mm OUT for Audio.
But My home theater has RCA INPUT only. My question is what will be the quality of audio in below two scenario. Which is preferred.

1.) Using 3.5mm Jack OUT to RCA IN Cable

2.) Using external Digital to Analog converter (Dolby supported)-- Optical OUT to RCA IN

This will be helpful for me to buy the required things and get connected.

Thanks!
 
Solution
The issue is your HT input, once the TV hits that, it's all equal. If you had an optical input, that would be better. Since you don't, you can use either one.
