Hello,
Wondering if anyone else might have this usage case...
I'm likely to plug all my HDMI sources into my TV and then use the ARC feature of the TV to the Vanity Pro. I understand there are some limitations in the TV in terms of sample rate (everything is sampled to 48khz), but its possible that when eARC is more commonplace this limitation will be usurped. From my reading, eARC is really intended to increase the ability of the TV to process higher bit rate audio information so hopefully that means 192khz LPCM streams will be available via the eARC output.
I understand the Vanity doesn't do eARC but that shouldn't really matter... a 192khz LPCM stream is the same if its ARC or eARC, right?
I'd plan to have a UHD blueray (xbox X), a PS4, and an RPi (HDMI out) connected to a TV with google TV/chromecast built in (Sony TVs). I'd be able to route all my source materials through the TV and out through ARC port.
Given the Vanity Pro's ability to de-jitter the HDMI sources with excellence, I don't see any reason to utilize/integrate another source besides these... I can stream just about any app via the chromecast, watch/listen to UHD bluerays, and stream via the RPi via DLNA...
Am I missing anything here? Sounds really simple and clean in my head, this product solves so many problems with multiple digital routing protocols like SPDIF, USB, I2S, and many others.
Thanks for the time!
