So glad I bought this to go with my Sonos Arc system. I made the purchase with PayPal on the website and it did look a little suspicious but it worked.
    Thanks for the discount!

It all started with the purchase of a new Samsung QLED 75" TV, excellent picture for my room size. The Sonas Arc, Gen3 sub and 2 One SL makes excellent sound very happy with system. I have a EPSON 1080p projector got the HD fury and HDR HDMI Matrix 4x2 matrix (HDMX0012M1) all works seamless have projector, blueray, chromecast, sattelite TV 4k, system supports Dolby Atoms scales 1080p to 4k all works perfect.

    • @richellebrittain2127
      @richellebrittain2127 3 роки тому +5

      Actually, the Arcana is needed to feed lossless audio from sources such as Blu-ray players into an AVR or soundbar with *only* an eARC HDMI output (like the Sonos Arc) without needing eARC support in your TV. If you can connect your Blu-ray player directly to your AVR or soundbar via HDMI in, you don't need the Arcana to get lossless audio. However, if you connect your Blu-ray player to your TV you need eARC on both TV & AVR/soundbar to get lossless audio; regular ARC, optical & coax are limited to lossy audio. Without eARC, lossless audio must be sent to the AVR or soundbar instead of the TV.

    This is great. Been on the fence for a new soundbar as my last one of 7 years finally died. Been doing much reviews and came across your in-depth videos and with this device alone, I'm ok with spending the additional funds for proper sound. Just upgraded my TV in the last 2 years and don't plan on upgrading again for awhile. You definitely need to reach out to HDFURYARCANA for some sponsorship. Would definitely like a HDFURY for set-up on TV's and Soundbars alike. Thanks again for the great reviews!

  • @johnpereira6934

    Bought the Arcana to get Dolby Vision working with a Samsung QLED TV using a 2019 NVIDA Shield Pro. The Arcana converts Dolby Vision signals from LLDV (or is it LDV) sources into a compatible signal for use with non-Dolby compatible TVs. Refer to HDFury's website for additional details. Only issue is that the TV will not indicate a better signal than HDR. For example, Dolby Vision or HDR10+. This conversion will only work with LLDV sources and not regular DV sources. There are plenty of LLDV sources and LLDV is not limited to specific esoteric sources. In other words LLDV sources are quite common. For further info refer to the Arcana website.

      My optoma p1 had some dropout issues. I got the key to get hd audio(true HD and DTS MA) to my non arc receiver. Even with its minimal EDID management it solved all my dropout issues. I then started reading about the diva and once I found out you can essentially get Dolby Vision or HDR+ on an HDR10 display I was sold. Essentially it tricks the player, in my case the new Nvidia shield pro, into thinking our display can do Dolby Vision. The Diva then remaps the color tones to HDR10 in sub 1 milliseconds. You can really notice the difference. That is what that LLDV setting does. Not sure how much control you have on it with the arcana. With the diva you can inject your own HDR metadata for a better picture for both HDR and Dolby Vision. Here is how often they release updates. Go to downloads and you will see what I mean.

I'd love to keep things simple and not go crazy in this space. Would this work? - I want to use an ultra short throw projector (OPTOMA P2 CINEMAX 4K UHD) and Sonos arc system. The projector has Arc capability and I may or may not hook it up to a shield.

    2 big hifi stores in Sweden told me that of your tv/ projector doesnt support eArc it is IMPOSSIBLE to use eArc. So therefore I was planning to leave my arc back to the store since i have got open shop guarantee.
    But when I found your video review about this. I have achieved a hallelujah moment.
    I am wondering why the stores gave me that answere…

    I watched your video this past Tuesday and I placed my order for the HDFury Arcana. I just received today from Tiawain via DHL. Total spent $231.00
    I have Sonos Arc, Sub Gen 2 & Ones SL
    I connected Arcana and it’s amazing WOW
    Instead of buying a TV with Earc ( $4k plus) this just amazing.
    Im done spending money with this system and Arcana you can’t go wrong

    Hi,
    I have an HDMI-ARC Switchbox with 3 inputs and one output to TV and one to the sonos arc.
    But the thing that annoys me is that when I play Spotify and then want to switch to watching TV, the sound doesn't switch to TV mode.
    When I manually set it to TV in the sonos app, I get an error that there is no arc connection
    In the settings menu I turned on the settings to overrule the TV. How's this works with the Hdfury Arcana?

      @@DanEscapesThe sound quality is absolutely noticeable and significantly improved. However, if you're strictly using your Smart TV's internal streaming apps you should already be getting Dolby Atmos through your Arc and don't need anything else. You can check whether the Sonos is getting Dolby Atmos on the Sonos app. If you want to use an Apple TV or similar streaming device you'll need the HDFury ARCANA (not the Fury) to get Atmos out of the Sonos Arc.

      @siriuset 3 роки тому +1

      @@juanvalera7272 Does your TV have an EARC out? If it does, run your HDMI cable from the EARC on the TV to the Sonos Arc. You should be getting Dolby Atmos from your TV's internal Netflix & Amazon Prime apps, and it will be indicated on the Sonos app. If you're not, the TV probably doesn't support EARC and you would need the Arcana to act as the "middle man" between the TV and Arc. Is it worth it if you have to pay the 230? Really depends on your financial situation but in my opinion Dolby Atmos is the most immersive and impressive sound you can get and the Sonos Arc does an amazing job delivering it. Remember though that there are still a limited (but expanding) choice of Atmos titles out there. Good luck and stay safe!

    So Im planning on getting a new high end tv + a sonos arc system + philips hue sync box to also get surround light.
    But the sync box and the arc both need the arc/earc outlet on the tv and i could not find a problem or find a splitter which supoorts earc.
    Is this product the solution to my problem tho ? Because I want to control it all with alexa and not loose any funtionality or quality with video or audio and also be able to have the full philps hue experience watching "normal" tv and streaming or gaming !

    Hi, I have a Philips oled805 TV with only an arc port. To connect to the TV, I used Sonos Arc + 2 one SL + 1 sub. So far, the built-in Netflix TV has performed admirably. I can play Dolby Atmos without any delay. However, when I connect my PS5 to the Philips TV and use the Dolby sound option in PS5, it shows dolby 5.1 but the sound has a 0.5 s delay, which I can clearly hear. When I switched it to PCM, there is no delay, but the soundbar was operating on a stereo model, which produces only two channels of sound, and the sound was very crisp. So I'm wondering if Aracna will fix the delay issue when I use PS5? Thanks
