TV Out Optical Question

[Axel]

Right now I'm using a hdmi switcher with a audio extractor that goes into the speaker.  I'm considering switching this so it goes through the tv.  So all my HDMI cables plug into the TV and then I use optical out to extract audio.  Any issues or downgrade in quality with this approach before I embark on this?

I imagine that there might be a drop off in SQ, but I use an optical link between my TV and D and think the sound is excellent. You should find it easy enough to do an A/B comparison.
