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!

Lots of those, but you can do this a lot simpler.  Set your TV to stereo out and use an inexpensive DAC like a Topping or something.  Then you can use whatever preamp/stereo you want to.

Now, if you genuinely want to stick with HDMI/HT preamps I like Anthem a great deal.
