I haven't hooked it up to a TV, so I have no opinion of it's video capabilities. I purchased this unit as a dedicated audio player for my MF Xcan V3 headphone Amp(mod), and listen only through Senn.

From the top: simple instructions, easy set up, outstanding picture and sound. This unit had no optical out, so I used the digital coax connection instead, and the sound was excellent. The USB port
