Good morning,
I am using the USB-based Music Streamer to send internet music from my Macbook to my older RCA-based receiver.
Having just purchased a HDTV that has built-in internet access, I now have more options.
The new TV has two options for AUDIO OUT.
--- a 3.5mm analog jack
--- an optical digital jack
Question 1 -- if I convert my pathway for internet music from my Macbook to my new HDTV, which of new output jacks will carry the best resolution -- 3.5mm analog or optical digital?
Question 2 -- would the new HDTV pathway have better resolution than my existing USB-based Music Streamer pathway?
In either case, my goal is to route Pandora music from the internet to my stereo.
Thanks,
Dave

Regarding q2, keep in mind that the engineers designing that TV didn't have sound quality as a priority when building its internal D to A converter that drives the 3.5mm jack analogue out. If you do indeed want to use your TV, use the optical digital out.
