Hi, All-

Waiting for my Arc/Sub/OneSLs to arrive and am wondering: 

Instead of a Port or 5, can I connect the turntable via bluetooth to my iPhone, then playback via Airplay to the Arc? 

Or...connect the turntable to my Samsung TV then HDMI(ARC) it back to the Arc?

To you first question: I don't think an iPhone works as a bluetooth receiver, let alone that I do not think it would then relay the signal via Airplay.

To your second question: this depends largely on your TV. If you could plug in the RCA connectors, maybe it will relay the sound via HDMI Arc. I have no idea what this would do to sound quality though….

Appreciate the input (no pun intended)...just trying to circumvent using another piece of hardware if I can avoid it.  But the sound quality loss could be a dealbreaker, given the importance of sound quality we all obviously share.  Thanks again!
