Hi All,
I am thinking of putting a 2.2 system in my living room.
This would be used for casual music listening, television and movies. Importantly the solution needs to be easy to use (ie wife and kids should be able to use without much added thought).
Currently we have a TV connected to an Apple TV 4K. Streaming music via the Apple TV is sufficient (ie no need for roon or anything).
I am thinking TV via optical out to minidsp ddrc with Dirac outputting to subs and to amp/speakers.
I am wondering if anyone has a similar setup and I am specifically wondering 1) how important a physical volume knob or preamplifier is in this setting, 2) how set it and forget it would this be?
My hope is that the tv volume control would be adequate, and so once things are set up I am hoping that other family members could use the tv and get the advantage of the sound system without really having to think about it or fiddle with other remotes or settings.
Will this work? Am I missing something?
Thanks for any feedback,
Mike
