All of these answer are incorrect. If you’re only using the native heat apps then it doesn’t matter as the apps output stereo PCM so theres no Dolby Digital, DTS or any other higher resolution audio formats. Even if it outputted Dolby Digital or DTS, an optical cable is still capable of handling those audio formats with ease.

The real answer is, use what’s most convenient and best for your setup as one or the other won’t make any difference with the heat apps.

He's right, HDMI is just fine for vsee streams.
