Attach this cheapie DAC to the output of your Sony Blu-ray player -OR- the Optical Ouput from your TV set.It's not 'high-end' by any means but for casual movies, streaming music, or concert DVDs on your Sony, it will do the job. If it doesn't perform to your standards, you're only out 30 bucks.
I use one of these behind my Marantz integrated amp driven by the the Optical output from my Sony TV. It works fine for it's intended purpose.
It's USB powered and comes with a wall wart power brick. Some TV's and amps have a USB port on them specifically for supplying power (as does my Sony TV)... so you might not need another AC outlet for the power brick.
Good luck.
