Yes but its sadly not good news...

Ive had the H16 for a month. The cable and adaptors work well in converting the AES output into something that feeds into G65.

The main issue which was confirmed to me this week is that the H16 only outputs at 48k.

Which is fine with Atmos but DTS-X / HD 24/96 or 24/192 are downsampled to 48k....

Ive currently have channels 1/2 of H16 connected to the AES input of my 518!

The SPDIF output of 518 is used for 2 channel output for H16 into D4 of G65 and the 518 AES output has an adaptor connected to for channel 1/2 of the multichannel digital input going into MD1.

This solved another issue because I was wrong in thinking you could use input D1 as both a 2 channel and be part of MD1.

Generally the H16 works well as an eARC extractor / Atmos decoder but there are other issues that should be fixed with an upcoming firmware release.

I have been offered full refund on H16.
