Getting 4K with Classe SSP-800


We have a nice but older home theater setup with a classe ssp-800, classe multi channel amps and B&W 800 series speakers.  We now have a new Sony 4K TV and a 4K apple TV and we want to get the 4k video and the best quality 5.1 audio going through the classe ssp-800 preamp that we have - is there anything out there that would help us with this? Audio extractors?  Etc. We would prefer not to replace the preamp if possible. 

 

Thanks

Just use the TV inputs for your video sources and you will have full resolution.  Run the Audio through the SSP-800 with HDMI eARC from TV and it will send the sound no matter what video source to the Audio Processor.  I had this Classe SSP-880 and ran it this way with no issues.  If you have issues with HDMI eARC (Audio Return Channel) you can also run Optical out of TV into the SSP-800.
