Another problem unsolved with Samsungs hdr10+

Tried to split apple tv to hdr 10+ samsung and a denon 4500 avr that is non hdr 10+ to get + on tv and best audio on avr. Didnt work. Atmos wasnt there on avr after MUCH testing. Video was a bit twitchy intermittantly as well. Best guess is apple doesnt play nice with splitters that go through non arc port on tv.. Tv only has 1 arc port.

Simplified SP14S HDMI 4-Way Splitter

Crutchfield customer from Raleigh, NC on 4/25/2023

Verified customer

I am using the SP14S to distribute High Resolution audio via HDMI cables to 3 different AV Receivers. I use these receivers in various combinations when listening to music. My audio source is a dedicated HP PC running Windows 11 and a comprehensive music cataloguing and playing program entitled "MusiChi". Distributing HDMI signals in general is a bit challenging due to the impact of momentary signal drops and other signal-related issues. I am still testing and fine-tuning the system, but overall I am very pleased with the results and the performance of the SP14S. I have given a 4 Star rather than a 5 Star rating to the SP14S because I am a bit concerned that the SP14S might contribute to the causes of the momentary signal-loss issues. The SP14S is simple to connect and straightforward to use. Overall, I believe that it fulfills it's mission of providing multiple outlets for simultaneous HDMI signal distribution.

Pros: Simple to install and connect.

Cons: No obvious negatives

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
