I’ve been trying to solve the Phantom surround sound problem for a while. I’m currently using high-end ADCs fed from receiver pre-outs, but it’s a mess of cables and I hate the constant digital-to-analog-to-digital conversions.
I’m working on a "hub" for my own setup that keeps everything digital. It takes eARC from the TV and gives you 4-5 optical outputs to plug straight into your Phantoms.
Key ideas:
• One cable to TV: It uses eARC, so your TV remote controls the volume (CEC).
• Zero quality loss: The signal stays digital from the TV to the speaker.
I'm thinking about making a small batch of these for other enthusiasts if people are interested. Target price would be around $500 for a finished, plug-and-play box.
Would anyone be interested in something like this?
