Hi,

Is there a digital optical (SPDIF) input in order to connect an external streamer/DAC to the new ARC Ultra, busides the HDMI eARC ?

In the specs it is not listed, and the pics so far are not detailed enough.

Many thanks !

Using the Sonos Optical Audio Adapter that came with the original Arc, I am getting sound on the Arc Ultra.

HDMI from Arc Ultra connected to Sonos adapter and Optical connected to Optical Out on Fiio BTA30 Pro, being fed by WiiM Pro Plus

So as expected… thx for testing and confirming. 😎

I know that it would be a convenience for a relatively few ARC ULTRA purchasers with old TV’s if the adapter was included, but tens (hundreds?) of thousands of adapters would ultimately end up in land fills, never having been used.

Many thanks to both @Mr. T and @Schlumpf !!

I guess I'll have to reach my wallet and give it a try then 😅
