Related (somewhat) to this post- does anyone have advice as to how to decode my Vizio output via its HDMI into high quality 2 channel audio I can listen to through my main audio system? I have a PS Audio Directstream Junior DAC with many differant input options but my understanding is you need some sort of device to digitally merge the multi channel output in the HDMI to a digital two channel signal for the DAC? McIntosh provides this exact functionality on one of its pre amps currently; I'm looking for some "black box" to do it so I can either run the digitally "merged" two channel signal into my DAC and then into my Audio Research LS28 or- take the merged analog two channel signal from the black box and run it into a line level input in my pre amp.
Thanks !
