My listening room and system were originally set up for 7.2 channel use, including a 4K projector and motorized screen. Over time I decided to prioritize my first love, which is high quality 2-channel listening, including changing the Bryston surround processor for a BP-19.
The system includes a BDA-3. The HDMI inputs were a huge benefit, and still are. I still use the projector occasionally for concerts, movies etc. and it works very well. The Oppo blu-ray player has two main HDMI outs, the first is A/V and the second is audio only. Both are connected to the BDA-3, with the A/V providing the video pass-through signal to the projector, and the audio-only provides the audio.
I can also use the Oppo to play SACDs, DVD-A and CDs via the HDMI to the BDA-3, although I rarely do.
The Oppo Audio Only out is labelled just that, not e-Arc. I may be missing something, but I assume they're functionally the same thing.
