Samsung HDMI Switch | HDFury | Arc

I have 2015 Samsung JU7100 that has a proprietary HDMI switch.  


Does anyone have this with the HDFury device connection to the Sonia Arc?

Does the proprietary switch pass thru Atmos from an AppleTV to the HDFury » Arc?

When you have an Arcana, the ATV4K will be plugged into the Arcana then one cable goes to the Arc for audio and one cable goes to the TV “switch” you are talking about for video. It will work.

@Airgetlam I have compared TrueHD Atmos and DD+ Atmos in the Sonos Arc. I find that the comparison is like FM to AM radio. Although the gap between the two is much much smaller than that between AM and FM. TrueHD Atmos has more precision and more clarity. Not huge difference, but it is there.

Interesting. I don’t hear the difference at all in my local environment.

The difference between the two is that compressed Atmos cab be transmitted over Arc, so does not need eARC - if you would only use the apps on your TV (and the TV gives out DD+ to the Arc), the Arcana could be superfluous. I cannot comment on quality differences as I own no Atmos caompatible speaker.
