sound streamer / receiver


audiophiles, 

Lovely to be here. I am looking for some options which can do this:
modern hdmi in and out (like 8k / hdmi 2) along with optical out. What sort of devices do this? I've looked everywhere and its very confusing to find one.

@mahler123 210 Streamer | Meridian Audio (meridian-audio.com) I use this to send sound signals to the speaker. (I use ethernet cables from 210 to the meridian speakers

For the above problem I was looking to split the sound before the TV to send to the speakers.

What I could never get working was connect Meridian HD 621 [which promises the same features but could not get it to work]. HD 621 does send hdmi signals out to the TV - but could not get the sound to work. I've tried all the ports including the RS 232  -> Ethernet and then connecting that to the speaker link in of the 210 Streamer.

@krams perhaps the Meridian HD 621 does not support the audio codecs you are using, from your HDMI source. It was introduced quite a long time ago. There is a newer Meridian UHD722 but I suspect you might need the Meridian 271 with one of the processors I mentioned earlier. Have you asked your Meridian dealer?
