Hi guys,
I’ve been looking at new AVRs and it seems there’s a problem with hdmi boards on quite a few of them that they can’t do 8k or 4k120, 25gb/s or 40gb/s and some reviews makes this to be a big thing.
So a few quick questions
Why is it so important that they do this?
Surely if you connect device like ps5 or Xbox directly to Tv and use the arc/earc to send sound to receivers it negates the problem with video pass through.
Is it more beneficial to wire these to avr first then to tv as that to me adds an extra link in the chain before the video hits the screen which could cause sync issues?
Currently like my ps4 I would hook up hdmi to tv and use the optical output to amp so it removes any extra links or processing in the chain but current devices like ps5 or Apple TV doesn’t have an optical output or any other output other than that 1 hdmi connector.
Would like to hear your thoughts.
