TV vs DVD vs media computer to stream Netflix and YouTube into 2-channel audio system

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Which is better- a TV, DVD, media computer, or something else for streaming YouTube and Netflix 2-channel audio into my DAC? I don't have any DVDs so would only consider that if it had a higher quality (less jitter, etc.) output than the TV.

My DAC has inputs for Toslink, Coax, AES

The TV would be the simplest option, but not sure it's the best given jitter issues?

Granted, YouTube and Netflix do not have the "best" audio quality, but I want to make them sound as good as they can through my high-end DAC (msb), and tube components (Aesthetix pre, Atma-Sphere amp) driving single driver horns.
