Do you have recommendations on an amplifier to purchase along with this device. We intend to use an optical connection through both devices

If you use an optical connection, it means that you need a DAC and use AK120 for a transporter. If then, you can't get advantage of the wonderful DAC of AK120. So I wonder if it is really necessary. Further, AK120 has a good line out signal. So if you pick any good portable amplifier, it can receive audio from the line out of AK120. Ray Samuels makes great portable amps. FiiO E12, Cayin C5, AUNE B1, ... there are so many good amps.

None from personal experience. I would start at Ray Samuels Audio first though. The amps I have from him are amazing. If he doesn't have a solution for you, he's very helpful and will be able to point you in the right direction.

Had one for over two years now and have never needed an amp, at least not for headphones. Unless you are trying to change the sound signature why waste money on an amp? That said, I read a lot about how good the Hugo sounds with it.

Signal source is Antenna. I will try the optical cable. Thanks for the response.

You will need a good amplifier only.Also it may be atacched in other Audio-video receivers as an auxiliar component. It is up to you.Regards,Hector

Sorry but my english is very bad, whatever, I'll try to help you, what kind of cable are you use to output the audio? HDMI, Optical?

Um, yeah that's a good question. I'm not saying u can't do it bit Not aware of a way to make the device work w/o going through my surround sound either. Honestly, even though I bought the device, sadly I came across the same thing and ended up not using it. However, you might be able to run optical out of th cable box and try that way. I'm really sorry I'm not much help but understand the frustrations

I donno if an optical cable will help with the sound. I have used the RCA cables with okay success. The 580 is a good unit, but does not produce the full fidelity or reach that I was used to on my old 42" Dell plasma TV with included speakers. Maybe I need to get the optical cable to maximize my sound. I donno. The 580 is good, however, my Wife does not like it turned-up as loud as I would like, so reduced in overall performance. If one turns it up in volume, it will rock/bounce the house. It serves my needs, but wish it had the breath and surround as those speaker/amplifier systems on the old TV. Maybe will get the optical cable for my setup.Gary Feduccia I donno if an optical cable will help with the sound. I have used the RCA cables with okay success.

Yes! This will do it, but you will also need an adapter to convert the optical audio.

I believe you can go from roku or sat audio to amp. All the projector wants is video.

There are many adapters in the market Here is one : Digital Optical Coaxial Toslink Signal to Analog Audio Converter Adapter RCA L/R You can get it on amazon or ebay

Easy. All you need is to connect the RCA output jacks to the input jacks in the back of your amplifier. Only need the RCA cable and connect to Aux or CD input. There is a digital output in the back and if you have it you can connect the digital out to the digital in on you amplifier. All you'll need is a digital optical cable.

Agree with the above. First need to be sure signal is going through the cable. Make sure that the source is set to optical out.

No you would need a optical to analog converter to have it goto that device

Thanks for the response. I have a ONKYO SR505 and am connected like you are. With this A/V unit I must use the audio optical cable if I want surround audio to the speakers. I can use the HDTV speakers to get HDMI quality sound which defeats the purpose of having a surround system.

One in and one out. You can use an optical swith if got multiple inputs. There are a few models sold here in Amazon.

do you have an audio/video amp?you would plug into the HDMI port or optical port (output)

Hey Craig-Which optical input connection on the Onkyo receiver did you use to connect the optical cable from your TV? I'm not having success. :-(

You're right, this isn't an audio amplifier. It's a decoder so you can mix and match different outputs/inputs like coaxial, optical and switch between two channel, (2.1) and five channel, (5.1). Solv es many connection problems between different equipment.
