Incorporating Projector into 2 Channel
I just purchased a Epson 5030 projector and 120" screen. I'm two channel only. I occasionally have sound from my TV coming through my 2 channel via an optical cord from the TV to my DAC. I was told I would have to run the optical cable from my cable box to the DAC for sound when I receive the projector...is this correct or is there a better way?

I should have added I won't have the projector and screen until the 28th of June. Would the Wyred 4 sound Remedy or OPPO 105 improve the sound?

Firstly, yes it would work. S/PDIF output is stereo only even if the content is DD 5.1 or better. Most music DACs will not be able to decode a Dolby or DTS signal. Given you only have two speakers this should not be a problem. Though I am not sure how much value/improvement it would add in a down-mixed signal.
Using HDMI with a AVR or Processor set in 2.1 mode would more than likely provide better sound. What is the rest of your system?

What about a receiver pre amp. That would work as a hub for the tv/projector/tv-box signals. And thats where you'd hook up your Oppo to.
Any way that is how I have set up my projector/hifi combo. But as I am running 5.2 I am using a receiver with built in amps to run my center and surround speakers. But for 2 ch, you don't need that. |

Honestly, I want to know the best way to get sound using two channel with a projector.

A Bluray player? An Apple TV? A cable box? Most of these sources would have an optical or coax output. You could hook these up to your current DAC - you just need to set the source devices to convert the audio to PCM 2 channel. Most video sources might encode in Dolby Digital. My recommendation is to get a Bryston BDA-3 and use it as an HDMI switch/DAC since you are already a Bryston owner
