I currently have a Denon AVR X2400H, connected to a new Samsung 65" Smart LED TV via HDMI Arc.
I stream music from my TV's Spotify App, or even youtube videos.
I understand paid Spotify has better quality then youtube videos. What I want to know is, does a TV bottleneck any performance? is the DAC inside the TV being used or is it my AVR's DAC that is being used for Stereo?
The option under "digital audio out" is set to Auto, I tried selecting passthrough but it denies it!
If I am playing stereo, my system plays stereo, if I put on Netflix, it automatically switches to Dolby Digital on my AVR.
I am confused. Is it my TV doing the processing through HDMI Arc or is it my AVR?
