Best way to connect LG C1 to Audiolab Mdac

I'm currently running the LG C1 to my PC and to my Mdac via asynchronous USB.

However, my daughter is allowing me to access her Amazon Prime video via the LG C1.

The tv will not allow the use of asynchronous USB for sound through the Mdac.

Would the best way to get around the issue simply be to connect the LG C1 to the Mdac via optical out? I'm under the impression using the Mdac will give vastly superior sound. Thank you.

It's TV/film soundtrack audio, not some hi-res stereo streaming source. Do you really think it's worth fretting over asynchronous USB versus optical?

Only insofar as I'll be doing a lot of late night/early morning viewing/listening- so the optical link will allow me to use the dac for headphones.

I suppose I could directly plug the headphones into the TV but until I try both I wouldn't know which would be better.

Or just sign in to her account on PC?

Trouble with that is it gives access to credit card details etc unless I'm mistaken?

Thanks for the suggestion regardless.
I'll see how I get on later

Well I've finally got it running. Using optical from the TV isn't as good as asynchronous usb on the pc but it's better than nothing. Thanks for the interesting information in the previous posts.
