sound streamer / receiver


audiophiles, 

Lovely to be here. I am looking for some options which can do this:
modern hdmi in and out (like 8k / hdmi 2) along with optical out. What sort of devices do this? I've looked everywhere and its very confusing to find one.

@mahler123 210 Streamer | Meridian Audio (meridian-audio.com) I use this to send sound signals to the speaker. (I use ethernet cables from 210 to the meridian speakers

For the above problem I was looking to split the sound before the TV to send to the speakers.

What I could never get working was connect Meridian HD 621 [which promises the same features but could not get it to work]. HD 621 does send hdmi signals out to the TV - but could not get the sound to work. I've tried all the ports including the RS 232  -> Ethernet and then connecting that to the speaker link in of the 210 Streamer.

@mahler123   - thank you for your reply - great question.

I have active speakers (space constrained in a room) and would like to have the visual signal separated from sound from the signal source (vs having to send it out via the TV)

the speakers only accept some complex protocol of ethernet signals (meridian audio DPS 5200 Special Edition :) ) . It has a streamer which can accept optical in. I've tried other Multimedia processors of meridian with it - never really worked.

The only input I am trying to use is hdmi for this. Regular audio input from a turn table works fine where there's no video.
