You may not need to split the output if your to be purchased
receiver will pass the signal through. Many receivers
will have an optical in, as well as an optical output.
Thankx! Eastside & "GM"...
E: I know you are correct, but I had already checked to see if there was "pass through" on the base controller and there was not.
The headphones are Pioneer brand. The Sony's I looked up had an optical in and an optical out. That would have been perfect for my situation, but the Pioneer SE-DIR800C unit rates better than the Sony MDR-DS4000 or 6000, if you can find those discontinued models, according to what I read on the net.
The likelihood of an amp in the near future is small since my wife keeps saying turn down the volume even just using the TV speakers at what is average volume :-(
G: I realized my dumb question formation when I just re-read the original post; however, if I do use a y-splitter, is there some concerns about being able to perhaps use 2 (split one side again) or can the optical circuit be a pipeline with many branches?? I thought I had read somewhere that after the first split, secondary splits can be problematic.
Thankx!
