So I’m trying to figure out the best configuration for my HDMI inputs on the sony X900F because of its limited full function ports.
Currently I have
-AppleTV 4k ARC/HDMI 3 port
-Sony 4K Player HDMI 2 Port
-PC HDMI 4
-LG SK9 Dolby Atmos Soundbar with 4k HDR Passthrough - Optical
I use the Harmony 665 to control everything and have zero issues with controlling all my devices, I ran into issues switching inputs in the past using the ARC and passthrough on the Soundbar, that’s why I switched to straight optical from the SK9.
I want to know if I’m really losing any sound quality by using optical (aside from Dolby Atmos) Or should I plug the Apple TV in the Soundbar PassThrough to take advantage of the audio capabilities of HDMI that Optical lacks? (DolbyTrue HD, DOLBY DTS, DOLBY ATMOS etc etc) I absolutely hate the fact that Sony made the ARC port one of the only two fully functional 4k, HDR, 60hz ports,
