Of course this has the obvious disadvantage that you would need up to 4 pairs of analogue cables instead of just one neat HDMI cable...

I already mentioned that in post #2

"These uncompressed audio formats are too big to go through optical or co-axial cables and can only be transported via HDMI or 5.1/7.1 analogue cables."

But it's always worth re-mentioning!!
