Got it! So it's like: HDMI - VIDEO in HDMI ARC/eARC - VIDEO in or/and AUDIO out

Then, theoretically, stereo 24-bit/192 kHz should work over non eARC/ARC HDMI connection.

Okay, but there's something I don't understand about eARC/ARC. Currently, the only audio device connected to my TV is a Samsung Q990F soundbar. Why does this connection have to use eARC/ARC? After all, in this case, it's only the audio signal sent from the TV to the soundbar. Where is this...

Do you know if there is anything on the market which will let to connect three HDMI eARC devices: TV, soundbar and bookshelf active speakers and let the digital sound signal from TV passthrough to either soundbar or active speakers? And I don't have a simple switch in mind, but even some sort of...

No, not at the same time, but I like simplicity - the main reason why I'm getting active speakers 😄

Yes, they have HDMI eARC input.

But then only 16bit/48Hz... that's the bandwidth of my TV's optical output 😫

Thanks to @gasolin I'm getting Sonus Faber Duetto :love: My only concern is this: my TV (Sony Bravia 8 XR80) has four HDMI ports: HDMI 2.0 - free HDMI 2.0 - PS3 HDMI 2.1 - free HDMI 2.1 eARC - taken by Samsung Q990F soundbar Now, can anyone tell me, if I can connect Duettos to HDMI 2.1 port...

That is quite an idea, thanks! What do you power them with? Do you think that NAD M10 v3 will be enough?

Wow, these looks pretty awasome! On the list now! :hearteyecat:

yeah, quite pricey... :eek:

Ok, so I will put them on my list and listen in some store, if available. However, I don't have a place for the extra subwoofer 😔

Thanks for the opinion! I attribute the Duetto's lack of success to the fact that, at this price, any audio enthusiast will choose passive speakers for greater system control and the ability to experiment with different amplifiers. I considered KEF, but I have the distinct impression that...

I wish we have this price here in Poland. $4000 is after discount. Regular price is $5000.

The Harbeth NLE-1 is not available in my market. Furthermore, this set does not support Tidal streaming. And would they need Chord Qutest?
