I am pretty sure that the Optical out from the TV continues to work regardless of what is plugged into the other TV ports. The only issue i see with the optical to headphone adapters is that there is no way to adjust the volume level, but the bluetooth headphones will have that capability.
It should work so give it a try!
The choices are:
- a cheap optical-to-RCA DAC to feed the RS120 base station
- an optically connected Bluetooth transmitter
In both cases the headphones would require their own volume control. The TV’s optical out is at a fixed level.
Personally I’d go for option 2, assuming the Bluetooth headphones are decent ones with aptX Low Latency support. Obviously the transmitter would also need aptX-LL.
If the Bluetooth headphones don’t support aptX-LL, and lip-sync is a sensitive issue, then go for option 1.
Thank you. The bluetooth headphones are cheapos so option 1 might be better.
