I am using a coaxial cable from my Sony BDP-S6500 Blu-Ray player to my Musical Fidelity M1 DAC. It sounds great.
My next goal was to improve the audio from my Pioneer TV. I tried the optical (Toslink) output from my Pioneer TV to my Musical Fidelity M1 DAC but discovered it did not work (no signal from TV). Since I am using HDMI from my cable box to my TV, the optical output signal is blocked. Pioneer said there is NO digital signal if HDMI is used for the input.
I then noticed my TiVo Cable Box has an optical digital output connection (Toslink). I connected my Wireworld Supernova 7 Glass Toslink cable from my cable box to my Musical Fidelity M1 DAC and it worked. Well, not exactly. I had to change my TV audio settings to PCM output and then it worked.
The sound is much improved from using my cable box RCA's to my Ayre AX-7e amplifier. I am running a balanced cable from my MF M1 DAC to my balanced Ayre AX-7e amp. The MF M1 DAC has four source inputs.
I noticed the sound was clearier, more open and easier to listen to. If you are looking to improve the audio sound from your TV, you might consider using your cable box's digital output to a DAC.
