Optical Audio Volume Control?

[cadefoster]

I would like to use headphones with my new tv that doesn't have a head phone jack, so i figure the easiest fix will be to buy a DAC and use the optical out on the tv. My question is, will i be able to use my tv volume control when using the DAC? If the answer is no, is there a way to adjust the volume? thanks to anyone who can help.

No and that output need to go to an amplifier first before speakers of headphones

No, what u need is an Headphone amplifier with Toslink input, and since it's an amplifier, it has a volume knob.

Another option is to connect a bluetooth transmitter with optical input to the TV. Now you can use any BT headphones which will have their own volume control. No long wires either and likely cheaper than getting an amp.
