I've personally found things better running in through the TV and then out via ARC. But not always. Your SSP is pretty top level, so I can't imagine their video switching/passthrough isn't done right. With some setups, I would get more judder running everything through the SSP. So like the user above said, it should be obvious if you see anything wrong with your current arrangement. Roku is all loss-less audio anyway, so you have nothing to lose by trying the HDMI directly into the TV.
eARC when using Roku
I have a Lyngdorf mp 60 2.1 that is currently connected to a Roku ultra via HDMI for both audio and video. Is there any advantage connecting The Roku directly to the tv, a LG 2.1 hdmi, via HDMI and running the audio back to the Lyngdorf from the tv using the eARC HDMI of the LG tv. Since the video from the Roku is not processed and is only passed through, by the Lyngdorf a direct connection to the tv for video maybe better? Please advise. Thanks.

@guyt I also run fiber optic HDMI cables for every gaming system I own (Switch, Xbox Series X and PS5). Still using copper for my video streamers though. I already own AQ Carbon and Vodka 48, so may as well keep using them. But no issues with the fiber optic cables. And I mean that the Roku is all lossy audio, not loss-less. Sorry about the typo. |
