Hello everyone, I have an all-digital setup for listening to music (i.e. using a DAC with in-built pre-amp and no analogue inputs). I also watch films on the setup with a projector and am considering a centre speaker to clear up dialogue. My intention is something like this:
Blu-ray HDMI out -> HDMI splitter ->
1 Projector wireless box optical out -> stereo hifi DAC -> power amp -> front speakers
2 AV receiver -> centre speaker, possibly a sub
I appreciate that this setup could be considered blasphemous for some, and that there will be a slight mismatch in the speaker sound! However, does anyone see any issues with whether it will work and whether the sound quality will be high. In particular, I don't know much about HDMI splitters, but I have read it will default to the lowest common denominator (1080p and 48khz probably), which is fine.
Thanks for the thoughts.
Matt
