ARC won’t transport anything that the optical out doesn’t already transport, so not worth worrying about in my opinion.

eARC will transport lots of things, but most TVs either limit what they send out or just send out what they get in. It’s fine if you have universal in-player decoding that you can force AND a TV that can pass it back out, but you’re a bit at the mercy of the TV. I’ve not yet seen a TV that will decode a bitstream and send discrete LPCM out on eARC, but maybe they exist.I’d reconsider my aversion to eARC if they did….
