Looking for Preamplifier with HDMI Arc...need suggestions

Hi All,

I plan on making the big step to actually buying a smart TV soon.  I've been delaying it because of the fact that there are no RCA outputs on many TV's anymore.

I want to connect the TV to a preamplifier that has HDMI Arc, so that I can use the TV's single remote to control the volume on the preamp...which in turn feeds the power amplifier.

I'm having a tough time finding a preamp with this HDMI Arc connection.

If anyone has found some, please suggest them here, thanks!

I use my smart TV as a monitor. IMHO I think the streaming is best done outside of the TV. I wish I could have bought a quality 85" TV without smart electronics.

My solution for an integrated HT and music system:

I use a 7 channel HT receiver for HT. I send 2 preamp signals from my HT receiver to my music integrated amp for the front 2 channels. When I want to watch a movie, I just switch the Music integrated to the input that I have the HT out front signals going to.
