Interesting, though a shame as my 758 also does it and that means no fix likely for it...
My T758 doesn't have popping sounds on boot up & source change, guess your unit is faulty.

Perhaps, it's also going into a Mini DSP and then on to power amps though, so it may be my gain structure makes it more obvious.My T758 doesn't have popping sounds on boot up & source change, guess your unit is faulty.
Does it support E Arc?I went from the Arcam 850 with Class G amps to the T778 and am delighted with the audio quality on my MK/SVS system. Would have preferred more hdmi inputs and 2x 4K outputs, but am hoping the MDC concept will provide upgraded hdmi configurations in future.
It does indeed, I’ve tested it with the PS4 in tv hdmi 3 while audio goes back through TVs eArc hdmi2, works a treat !Does it support E Arc?
mm that only proves it supports ARC, eARC can do HD Audio codecsIt does indeed, I’ve tested it with the PS4 in tv hdmi 3 while audio goes back through TVs eArc hdmi2, works a treat !
It was LPCM when I last tested it months ago (can’t test it at moment as the pro has been sold in prep for the PS5).mm that only proves it supports ARC, eARC can do HD Audio codecs
From the NAD official site (Feature #4)Does it support E Arc?
So in theory plug your 4k sources into the TV and EARc back to ghe 778, this is now on my shortlist.It does indeed, I’ve tested it with the PS4 in tv hdmi 3 while audio goes back through TVs eArc hdmi2, works a treat !
Yes, this is why I wasn’t too bothered about hdmi2.1 as my tv supports eArc, so have a workaround.So in theory plug your 4k sources into the TV and EARc back to ghe 778, this is now on my shortlist.
No. You plug all your 4k sources to the T778 inputs and the TV to the 4k outputs.So in theory plug your 4k sources into the TV and EARc back to ghe 778, this is now on my shortlist.
I may be mistaken but eARC doesn't work that way.Yes, this is why I wasn’t too bothered about hdmi2.1 as my tv supports eArc, so have a workaround.
So EARC is for apps only , that conflicts what Denon say about haveing only 1 8k HDMI , they say connect your PS5 XBOX X to TV with 2.1 and theTV Will send the audio signal back to the avr for atmos ect .No. You plug all your 4k sources to the T778 inputs and the TV to the 4k outputs.
I may be mistaken but eARC doesn't work that way.
The eARC on the TV allows you to send lossless audio (Dolby Atmos/DTS-HD) from supported streaming apps (that are installed in your TV) through your eARC supported reciver (i.e T778) or a soundbar.
If you connect the ps5 to one of your HDMI 2.1 supported TV inputs, you will enjoy the benefits of higher bandwidth but then your receiver is out of the chain.
YesSo EARC is for apps only
Denon are correct. You should connect it that way, but that has nothing to do with eArc. You already have Dolby Atmos & DTS-HD support with "old" HDMI 2.0. eARC only concerns you if you stream apps from your TV and you want to get lossless audio.that conflicts what Denon say about haveing only 1 8k HDMI , they say connect your PS5 XBOX X to TV with 2.1 and theTV Will send the audio signal back to the avr for atmos ect .
But you can't pass the audio back to the Nad. That's my point.The only reason you would use eArc for devices is if the device is hdmi2.1. I was assuming @Killzone was talking about next gen consoles, even though he stated 4K device (due to his name ).
Until Nad bring out the hdmi2.1 board, if you want to enjoy the hdmi2.1 features (VRR/120Hz ...) of your console, plug it directly into the hdmi2.1 tv and pass audio back to the Nad.
All other devices go to the Nad otherwise as you say @Bman it would be pointless having the receiver.
I plan to do this for the PS5, unfortunately my tv is wall mounted with conduit within the wall, so I don’t think I’ll manage to pass a third hdmi cable up the conduit, so if I purchase the Xbox series X next year, I’ll most likey purchase the Nad hdmi2.1 module (if one becomes available).
I’m talking about using the tv as a next gen games console hub like you and I have explained above. That’s what Killzone wants to do to get the video benefit of a hdmi2.1 device without having a hdmi2.1 receiver.But you can't pass the audio back to the Nad. That's my point.
You can't take a source (Gaming console, Blu-Ray player, Streamer), connect it directly to the TV, and still use the receiver. You can't enjoy both worlds.
What apps contain lossless audio?eARC only concerns you if you stream apps from your TV and you want to get lossless audio.
You're right. There are lossless audio apps right now. I meant all apps that support the Dolby atmos format like Netflix & Apple TV.What apps contain lossless audio?
EArc is designed to work to send all audio formats from the TV to the AVR. This should work for both the TV's internal apps, and for any devices that are connected directly to the TV, including next gen gaming consoles.
Again, mabye I'm missing somthing here, but I don't see how you can get sound from the NAD if you connect any source (console, UHD player) direct to the TV. The only audio you'll get in that scenario is from the internal speakers of TV.are you saying if I still had my console and plugged it into the other TVs hdmi2.1 port (so the example is uhd player and console in the tv) the Nad won’t work even though I’ve tested both individually?
Ahh, I see what you mean, but the Nad is still connected to the tv, Nad hdmi out to TVs Arc/eArc hdmi in (small detail mentioned above but a crucial one “as the receiver is still connected to the tv via its hdmi output cable”).Again, mabye I'm missing somthing here, but I don't see how you can get sound from the NAD if you connect any source (console, UHD player) direct to the TV. The only audio you'll get in that scenario is from the internal speakers of TV.
How do you pass audio back to the nad?

Lip sync adjustment should still work with an ARC / EArc connection.As I say, can’t see why you would do this as the Nad provides additional functions (lip sync etc).
OK, please don't get upset with meVia eARC!
So I'm probably doing something wrong 'cause I tried to do a test in which I plugged out my Apple TV4K from my ARC receiver and plugged it in direct to TV. I was not able to get any sound from my receiver although both arc setting are turned on (Both on my TV and my receiver)Ahh, I see what you mean, but the Nad is still connected to the tv, Nad hdmi out to TVs Arc/eArc hdmi in (small detail mentioned above but a crucial one “as the receiver is still connected to the tv via its hdmi output cable”).
So any device connected to the tv’s other hdmi inputs can pass audio back to the Nad via the eArc link. So you are using the tv as the hdmi hub in a sense but can pass all audio (HD ..Atmos ..) back to the Nad and to your external speakers.
As I say, can’t see why you would do this as the Nad provides additional functions (lip sync etc).
The good news is it means you still get to use the next gen consoles full functionality and use the Nad to output to your external speakers and / or if the Nad doesn’t have enough HDMI inputs for you, again, you can use the TVs additional hdmi inputs and not lose out on uncompressed audio.
