Hi Paul, it would be good if it could but I've a feeling this is a design issue. Not necessarily a fault but a big inconvenience. I wondered about connecting the TVonics to the Hi-Fi via the SCART out to two phono jacks and therefore bypassing the optical. It just sort of takes away the benefit of using my Arcam DAC. May try this over the next copuple of days when time permits.

The HDMI pass through doesn't feed the audio from the Apple TV to the digital out but does to the tv. We can ask Tvonics if it is possible to route the HDMI audio to the digital out.
