Hey Guys Im quite new to all this so bear with me :)

So I have a laptop that I am using as my main audio source which plugs into my AVR/amplifier via HDMI

so from my understanding the digital signal is being directed straight to the AVR/amp

Is this a good way to get signal to the amp as or is a separate DAC needed to convert the signal from the laptop to analogue first?
