I am in the process of adding 5.1.4 surround speakers to my home theater to enjoy better sound immersion with Dolby Atmos and DTS X but I have seen some conflicting information on whether my current setup will work. Specifically I have seen that you have to have eARC support on your TV to enjoy uncompressed object based sound like DTS X. Unfortunately my current TV is a few years old and has ARC support but not eARC.
My question though is does this even matter because I have a 4k Blu Ray player hooked up as in input to my Denon x3700h AV receiver. So if I were playing a 4K Blu Ray movie that has DTS X audio wouldn't it go uncompressed to the speakers because the AV Receiver has support for it? Not seeing how the TV needs to have eARC support when I don't want the audio to go to the TV in the first place. If I were using any sort of streaming app like Netflix/Hulu etc... I would do it through an Applt TV 4k which I also have connected to the receiver and so again I wouldn't think matters if the TV has eARC or not. Am I missing something here?
