eARC + Sonos Arc for best sound out of your TV. I was quite content with optical out from my old Sony TV to my old Sonos soundbar. But Sonos Arc + Sonos Sub has elevated my movie watching experience to another level.
TV audio into DAC via eARC or better
My HiFi system is also in my main living room which has my largest TV for movies. Currently running optical audio out of my Sony TV into my Schiit Yggy. It's ok but something is missing for sure. Xfinity 4K box is HDMI only. Apple TV is HDMI only. I would think the highest possibly resolution would involve eARC.
I noticed the Lumin P1 has an eARC HDMI port. Looks like it can also switch video sources but my preference is to keep video quality going straight to the TV.
I know my compressed version of Batman on Netflix from my Xfinity box isn't going to be great but I need something better!
Thoughts? Thank you!

“Probably going into a new DAC in the $10k-$15k range. Maybe MSB Discrete ”@chauncey Your original post suggests, you would like to improve TV sound which includes movies plus other content. How is connecting a MSB DAC or Node with eARC would let you enjoy Dolby Atmos soundtracks? What I am missing here? Even optical cable/connection won’t transmit Dolby Atmos??? ”The eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) enables you to transmit the original full-resolution audio signal through an HDMI cable and reproduce the best sound without compromise.” |
