But presumably the output is optical or RCA spdif,
The output of the Amazon Basics box is HDMI (2ch) and S/PDIF (coax and optical, 2ch or lossy 5.1) . THere's also a stereo analog out

Thanks you. So if I understand correctly, the device you refer to above with allow the VanityPro to receive multichannel lpcm from my TV via the HDMI eARC port.With OREI units one has to be careful of CEC support and audio format. Some require a manual switch to select audio format (2ch, 5.1ch, 7.1ch) that resets to a default if you power off the unit. And some require a manual switch to select between HDMI in and TV HDMI ARC/eARC that also resets on power off. CEC can be supported, passthrough, or not supported, so your TV remote volume control may or may not work.
I chose an HDA-934 that (a) remembers audio format and (b) input selection settings across power cycles, (c) supports CEC, and (d) a remote. But, it is designed to route to an eARC sink like the miniDSP Flex HTx , not audio over HDMI like the Audiopraise wants.
The HDA-929 has a manual ARC/eARC switch to select TV or source audio. This may or may not be suitable in your scenario (I'm not sure if source audio TO a TV is routed back over eARC FROM the TV, in a desirable format -- the TV may negotiate 2ch.)
You may be better off with https://www.walmart.com/ip/eARC-Ext...dCgbHgbuELfAwsQCJKdiQLLwXsM6oagEaAiHyEALw_wcB to convert eARC back to HDMI audio and an HDA-934.
Yes, or the source, automatically. But that device connects to a eARC input device, like a soundbar.Thanks you. So if I understand correctly, the device you refer to above with allow the VanityPro to receive multichannel lpcm from my TV via the HDMI eARC port.
My system is just 5.0, so my thought is to set the Apple TV to output LPMC 5.1 and run a convolution filter on a Mac that would EQ the system and send the LFE to the appropriate channels> I have no height channels, so I don't think Dolby Atmos would be of much use (if at all). Apple TV decodes everything except Atmos.Generally, these devices do not transcode audio. Either the device specifies a set of switch- or remote-selectable audio formats, or it passes through the formats of the sink, expecting the source to transcode.
How does this improve the Eversolo DMP A6 playing multichannel dsf. This is why I am considering this unit, but need to understand more about the improvements.Honestly this platform improves SACD Sony BD players and Eversolo DMP A6 playing DSD and multichannel FLAC.
Hi steveoat87, the improvement of adding VanityPRO into the signal chain without anything else would depend entirely on the difference between the HDMI audio and digital audio circuit differences and their performance inside your Denon. The reviews of the Denon on the internet (and ASR too) indicate, there doesn't seem to be a lot of a difference in performance between feeding the Denon via HDMI or SPDIF. Also, the Denon might not be able to to process multiple SPDIF inputs at the same time for multichannel config.I currently use an Eversolo DMP-A6 HDMI multichannel out to feed my Denon X4800H receiver to play multichannel dsf files. Would the Vanity Pro HDMI audio extractor offer me any additional improvements in sound to play multichannel dsf files?

I agree, AVRs usually cannot take multiple digital inputs a process them in parallel for multichannel. It may apply to analogue inputs too, so one always has to check carefully in great detail if the equipment can work as intended.How is that supposed to work?
You use the Eversolo DMP-A6 to output the audio multichannel signal to the Denon X4800H via HDMI.
The Vanity Pro HDMI audio extractor outputs the channels of the multichannel signal individually, which the Denon X4800H cannot do anything with.
The Denon X4800H can't do either, and only a few multi-channel DACs, except in the pro audio sector, have more than one USB input, e.g. the Okto Research DAC8 Pro.I agree, AVRs usually cannot take multiple digital inputs a process them in parallel for multichannel.

Looks like one USB connector to me:only a few multi-channel DACs, except in the pro audio sector, have more than one USB input, e.g. the Okto Research DAC8 Pro
Exactly what I said, the Okto Research DAC8 Pro has 8 digital input channels in addition to the USB input.Looks like one USB connector to me:

Obviously it can handle multichannel audio, both in and out.
You said:Exactly what I said, the Okto Research DAC8 Pro has 8 digital input channels in addition to the USB input.
It doesn't, it has only one USB input... I'm sure you meant something differenthave more than one USB input, e.g. the Okto Research DAC8 Pro
And even after all that money and time spent, if it works with your gear,Exactly what I said, the Okto Research DAC8 Pro has 8 digital input channels in addition to the USB input.
So you're saying that my statement is wrong and that the Okto Research DAC8 Pro doesn't have 8 digital input channels via AES/EBU IN?You said:
