I know I could figure this out with experimentation (or research...or more thought!), but perhaps a wise member can spare me that:
I want to play a movie tonight off my laptop, which has HDMI and USB outputs. I would like to route the audio into my (2 channel) system, but I have no inroad do that (using a DAC2 and passive preamp, so no HDMI or USB inputs). But my BDP2 (which connects to the DAC2) has USB inputs. Do you think I could run HDMI out to the TV for video, and a USB out to the BDP2, and would the BDP2 play or pass through the audio to the DAC? THanks.
