What kind of outputs? Fiber to analog is about $15 and the size of two hockey pucks stacked.

Huh. Ok. I just didn't know that was a thing. Ok, I guess I don't need analog outputs then. Still nice to have though. Better zero pucks than two.

Hifi geeks don't trust the DAC to something inside the TV, and ... they are not wrong. Plus you can reuse the DAC even if you change the screen.

I'm not an audiophile. I just want something better than what the screen does, and I don't want to buy a soundbar or get into HDMI. And sometimes use headphones.

But still, I'm pretty sure, one day I'm going to get one of these optical -> analog boxes.
