I try to improve my 2.0 streaming layout:
AppleTV -> hdmi -> TV -> hdmi eArc ->Bluesound Node N130 -> Coax (+12v trigger) -> MiniDSP Flex Digital -> Coax -> Amp (Audiolab 9000 with 9038Pro DAC)
Pros:
Proposed alternative layouts:
AppleTV -> hdmi -> HDMI Preamp -> Coax (+12v trigger) -> MiniDSP Flex Digital ->Coax -> Amp (Audiolab 9000 with 9038Pro DAC).
AppleTV -> hdmi -> HDMI Preamp with Dirac-> Coax (+12v trigger) -> Amp (Audiolab 9000 with 9038Pro DAC).
AppleTV -> hdmi -> AV Receiver with Dirac and good DAC-> Pre-out-> Amp (Audiolab 9000).
Didn´t found any AV Receiver with Coaxial out. Some streamers with Hdmi ARC:
Any ideas?

Pros:
- I like the sound of my Amp and it has a good DAC (ESS 9038 PRO) in the last step before amplification.
- When I start my AppleTV, the TV turns on inmediatelly. Amp takes 10secs to wake up due to 12v trigger.
- Too many devices adding delay and jitter in the digital domain.
- Bluesound is unable to turn off the amp.

Didn´t found any AV Receiver with Coaxial out. Some streamers with Hdmi ARC:
- Denon DNP 2000ne doesn't have 12v trigger (1500$)
- Eversolo A8 has coaxial output and 12v trigger (2000$)
- NAD 658 has coaxial output and 12v trigger, requires additional HDMI input (2000$+500$)
- Rose 250 has coaxial output and 12v trigger (3000$)
Any ideas?
