Computer to TV Audio via amp - Worth it?

[Eniqmatic]

As per the title, I have an old Astro A40 Mixamp lying about, would hooking this up from my computer to TV improve the sound quality by a noticable amount or will the TV still be the bottle neck? I would also like to use headphones from time to time so something that would be quick to plug these in also would be good. 

 

I use a Samsung 32 inch TV for my monitor. Yes, I know, don't tell me I should have got a monitor

I doubt anything would change

 

might be useful to hook your headphones up using though!

 

If not, give it to me

Okay, but I assume I would definitely notice the difference with the headphones?

 

Would it be possible for it to work where I'd be able to just unplug headphones quickly and easily or would I need to change other cabling every time?

 

Is it even any good?

The best way to answer this, is always to try it on yourself. This is always the best answer, and applicable to other stuffs (speakers, headphones, amps, etc).

 

Just look for a way to connect them. Stereo plugs (3,5mm and 6,35mm plugs) and RCA plugs, assuming this is what the TV's audio in jacks are, are compatible (both analog), so you'd only need an interconnect cable (stereo to RCA).

I would say there wouldn't be a difference other than convenience of hooking your headphones up. I'd say try it.
