Samsung TV Sonos Arc question

So I have a Samsung QN65Q7FAM tv with a New Sonos Arc

Is Dolby digital + the best sound I can achieve? 

The Samsung rep told me I would have better sound with a different brand of TV lol..

I also have a PS4 not sure if you can use it to boost the sound quality or not.

Thanks in Advance!

I don’t know if the PS4 supports Dolby Atmos. But you should be able to get lossless Dolby TrueHD audio from Blu-ray Discs playing on the PS4 with the Arcana.

If you decide to connect more than one device to the Arcana, you need an HDMI switch. I am using this ROOFULL switch and it works great with the Arcana: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D3QD59P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_QGP1X039PGFX8S127M1V

HD Fury also recommends getting high quality HDMI cables to use with the Arcana like this KabelDirekt cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CMF1VJZ/

Yes, purchase it directly from HDFury. It isn’t available at Best Buy.

GuitarSuperstar - You truly seem the most knowledgeable on this topic and I have read many many many forums on this.. Question - I have a Samsung TV 2019 Q90R that uses a One Connect Box for all interfaces...there are some many folks that are having issues with eARC between Samsung and Sonos. Are you familiar with this setup using a Samsung One Connect Box to a Sonos Arc?

@JREZ Sorry, I am not very familiar with that setup, but I found this Q90R user on AVForums who seems to be having success with the Arcana with multiple media devices:

I have the Arcana in my set up and have been using it for about a month or so now. My inputs (Sky Q, Fire TV 4K, Apple TV 4K, Blu Ray player) are all connected to an HDMI switch (£30 job from Amazon) and then via a single HDMI into the Arcana. One HDMI from the Arcana then goes into the One Connect and one to a SONOS Arc. In my set up at least lip sync is no longer an issue for about 95% of the time (I still see it very occasionally on Sky - usually if it's a live outside broadcast but even then very rarely). The Fire/Apple TV/Blu Ray don't cause any problems at all now. I was a bit doubtful when I bought the Arcana given the cost and the speed of development (and slightly bitter at Samsung for requiring me to do it) but being able to watch in sync is brilliant.

Also, if you talk to the people on HD Fury’s Discord channel, they are really helpful too:

That’s actually a really good point. However with arcana the video would come from the source (ultra, shield ) to the arcana the split to the TV and other hdmi Sonos..

so the hdmi to the tv would go to the one connect..

it just seems Samsung and Sonos not compatible
