If your TV is a Smart TV, the optical output will output PCM. However, as you noted, if the TV is not a Smart TV, then the optical output cannot be used for inputting to a DAC. My previous Pioneer Elite Plasma would not output a PCM signal. The capability must be verified for every TV to ensure it works as you require.
Another option is to run the optical output from your cable box to your DAC (I did this with my Pioneer TV and it worked fine). Please NOTE that the correct settings must be set in the cable box to output the correct signal type.
