Very very interesting. I want to be able to control the volume of Phantom II via my TV remote, but Digital Optical Audio out doesn't allow to do that. So I would need to utilise the TVs HDMI eARC + CEC combination for that.
I think your raspberry solution is exactly what I'm looking for, correct? Would it work from TV itself via HDMI eARC(not Apple TV directly)?
Devialet changed how it works between Dos 1 and Dos 2. In Dos 1 volume would be set globally for all inputs, or at least the optical in volume in would be affected by/the same as the upnp volume. In Dos 2 that is not the case unfortunately. I tried making a optical to upnp bridge but the latency on upnp in is too high, probably due to buffering. I now use a Bluesound Node 130 to get hdmi-cec with volume control. Quite sad that the Phantoms now are just “passive” speakers, all due to crappy software.
