Is it a standard configuration for the apple tv 4k to be connected by hdmi to the tv and have the TV’s optical TOS output go into a DAC to convert to an analog home stereo?



And, if i send YouTube wirelessly using ApplePlay with this configuration, can there be audio sync issues?


THAAANKS!!! FOR ANY HELP!

It should work. It should apply to a somewhat small group of users without digital audio systems.

AirPlay shouldn’t cause A/V sync issues with wired speakers. Audio is supposed to be processed fast enough for video sync anyway.
