I had the Almando Multiplay Surround Decoder with WiSa with a Sony A90J and Beolab 28’s. It was not a good marriage with the Sony tv, E-ARC constantly lost it’s handshake, so no sound. ARC worked fine. Although there’s a delay in turning on/off the tv and the 5v trigger to the 28’s in my case. So the 28’s closed after 10+ seconds after the tv was off. Which kinda killed the B&O magic for me ;-) The sound quality was noticably worse via ARC though. To be honest, it could have been a Sony issue, but I was not satisfied. My dealer had lot’s of clients where it worked perfectly. Hall Audio WiFi Streamer is an alternative solution with 5v trigger for B&O and it’s cheaper as well.
