good CD choice

Is this really going to work? I doubt it.

ARC uses dedicated pins on the HDMI connector (pin 14 plus pin 17 for ground). This is different from general audio transfer through HDMI.
 
Will report once he got the stuff. To be honest, my job for him is done and I am not really interested longer. Maybe because the imagination pushing an audio CD into such a box causes physical pain for me 😉😂
On reflection I think @harkpabst is correct. You’d need Xbox hdmi out to TV and either hdmi-arc from tv to amp or optical from tv to amp
 
Ditto to ripping to FLAC. Lossless, supported by nearly every player.

CDs have error detection bits, but no error correction. A good ripper, like Exact Audio Copy (plus FLAC encoder, both free) makes bit perfect copies of CDs that never scratch or get fingerprints. Computer file error correction means your music will never glitch.
