yes, I know the best / most logical way would to use a DDC from USB to optical , but I would like to use the optical input on the Ulra for CD player transport ,
and since I have nothing connected on the HDMI ARC input, started looking into "HDMI ARC extractors" - such as this
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003208834036.html (HDMI 2.0band HDCP 2.2,4K@60Hz 1X1 HDMI audio extractor with ARC,3.5mm Jack & optical Toslink SPDIF.support RGB 8:8:8(Dobly Atmos),EDID,HDR10 .)
does anyone have good/bad experience with such an adapter?
