I have a peculiar situation that I'm hoping you all might be able to help out with...
First up, my "parts" list:
Sony DA2400ES receiver
2x Klipsch R-26F floorstanding speakers
Klipsch R-10SW subwoofer
Behringer Xenyx 802 Premium 8-Input 2-Bus Mixer
55" LG 1080p TV with optical out
Google Chromecast Ultra
Random $30 DAC (a better one is en-route)
Ok, so what I am trying to accomplish here is the best of all worlds.
On one hand, I want the best quality music I can get from the above equipment. I'd also like to be able to really enjoy movies (though not really interested in the headache that is surround sound atm, maybe in the future).
On the other hand, my lovely Filipina wife and her Filipina friends............. love karaoke.
So, I'm trying to combine the best of both worlds, and while I think my current configuration will work, I feel like I'm missing out on all that my receiver has to offer.
At present, my current configuration looks something like this:
TV optical out --> into DAC --> out to Behringer mixer --> out to receiver --> out to speakers
The basic (karaoke) usage for this setup is as follows:
YouTube karaoke songs out to the chromecast which is plugged into the tv, which then goes out to the mixer to allow for the addition of mics, then to the receiver, etc.
This setup also requires that all of my hdmi devices (amazon fire tv, cable box, chromecast, ps4, etc) are tethered to my tv, which has only 2 hdmi ports.
What I'm wondering if is possible is as follows:
HDMI input on receiver (eg. chromecast) --> rca preamp out from receiver --> into mixer for mics --> rca out back to receiver ins -- HDMI out to tv.
This would allow me to make use of all the features of the receiver as opposed to
It's probably not possible because the receiver would be receiving an audio signal through HDMI, which I doubt I can send the HDMI audio out via preamp then back in to rca; but I figured I'd try asking before spending several hours pulling everything out to test it out (which is what I'll end up doing anyway).
I'm also open to other suggestions on how I can do my existing setup better, if there's a way that doesn't require dropping money on a "karaoke ready" receiver that'll either cost far more than I can afford to spend, or make everything sound like garbage.
The only other thing I can think of is to get an optical splitter that way I can run one optical line through the mixer, and the other directly to the receiver so I can bypass the mixer when not needed.
Thanks for any and all help/suggestions... and feel free to facepalm and laugh at my dilemma as well
