Cable TV digital music

It will sound better than using the cable box's DAC's, but it's still low res music. Same as putting lipstick on a pig. :D

First try a better cable....a Monster 3 f-connector cable is what I use. But I have Direct TV which has XM radio.

I run my Hughes receiver to my DAC using a Nordost glass optical cable....the sound is CD quality....especially on the HD sorround channels. The monster cable is a night and day difference over a generic cable.

Jb,
Yes, I would go from the Motorola spdif out to the Cary coax in with a moderately priced digital coax cable. If you have one on hand, if not grab one from a big box retailer that you can return.

also,
Y,Pb,Pr are the analog video outputs which also have a red & white rca audio output to go with them. The toslink or fiber-optic port is not easy to see until you see the tiny little plastic flap/door the covers the output laser. Does your dvr have a model number on the front or back.........ie. DCT**** or DCH****

Hey Bry, sorry it took so long to get back. anyway, yea, my motorola # is: DCT 6416 III
anyway, I'm just getting around to trying this out. I found the little "trap door" you mentioned, it's labeled "optical spdif", so I am going to get a coaxe cable and try going from there to the Cary coaxe in and see how it is. There is also a separate orange rca jack labeled "spdif" sandwiched in between the rca audio and video input jacks. I can't tell if that's an input or output jack.
