I have a new LG OLED B7V 4k TV which I play Netflix through, some films which have Dolby Atmos.
I have a legacy Linn Exotik Pre Amp which has 7.1 analogue audio inputs and outputs and a TOSLink input (amongst others). This enables me to switch between hifi level sound using a Linn Klimax streamer and Linn Silver RCA cables and a compressed 5.1 audio signal from the TV to Exotik pre amp using a dig opt cable.
I also have an OPPO 103 BDP which is connected via 5 RCA cables to the Exotik to achieve Uncompressed Dolby True HS and DTS Master Audio. There is no HDMI input into the Exotik.
I have 3 channel and a 2 channel Akurate amplifiers which feed the 5 speakers, the front 2 Akurate 242s serving as hifi and surround speakers, and an active REL 500 subwoofer.
I would really like to upgrade to Dolby Atmos as the new TV can play Atmos but would also like to keep my legacy Linn Exotik. Not sure of the best way to achieve this or whether it is even possible? It is great using hifi level equipment for my surround sound so wouldn’t want to loose this facility, but would love to get a 5.1.2 System up and running.
This is my first post so I hope I have made sense and someone is able to point me in the right direction or suggest I give up and stick with what I have got. (I also have a matching Linn Akurate 252 centre speaker which goes well with the 242 main speakers).
Looking forward to your responses.
