I had a 9002 that had restricted capability inputs so was using my Sony STR-DH790 as a switch for STB, PS4, TV, Firestick.
The TV got replaced with a 934 and that has 4 inputs with full support on each and has decent-ish built in apps (current issues withstanding) so I don't need the firestick (and never liked it not having IR remote support so that's a good thing).
I'm getting a bit frustrated with issues going through the amp (off the top of my head - SkyQ doesn't recognise 10bit; ATV sync issues; while on PS4, output will drop as if there's no signal; switching sources needs a 2nd selection to get rid of an overlay).
Annoyances rather than showstoppers but I'm now thinking about routing devices straight to the TV inputs and using ARC or optical out from the TV for audio.
Good idea/bad idea?
Is the ARC/optical enough to maintain best quality audio from all sources?
ARC or optical?
Thought I'd ask on here before I go and buy cables, take TV off the wall and run them etc.
