8K Arcana VRR 40Gbps arcana2

Pricey but does what it says and then some. Easy install and very responsive.

Works great, as long as you know its limitations. I would highly advise talking to them in their Discord because I found the item description here and on their website to be incomplete. Most importantly, it does not truly fully support 4K 120hz. At the time of this writing, if you need it to do any scaling, you can only go upto 4K60hz, because it does not have profiles for 4K120hz. Also it does not have EDID support. If you are not scaling and you're just using it for pass-through, then yes it supports 4K120hz with VRR etc. I think they should have included some kind of HDMI debug function, because their support can really use more info to help you troubleshoot. Currently you have to scroll to each setting and take a photo of it to upload to Discord. In my case, I needed EDID with 4K120 to emulate in headless mode, but I was told in Discord that I need their "VRRoom" product instead. But it did fix a VRR issue with my Samsung QN95 TV (that I didn't even know was an issue), and I can visually see an improvement in some games.

It won’t work at all unless you unplugged and plug it back in every time you turn the TV on - every single time. It also won’t play audio from both the TV and an Apple TV 4K - only get audio from the Apple TV 4K. P.S. since it can’t be exchanged, I’ll have to purchase a competitor’s product instead

I needed a device like this to fix my LG TV and Sonos Arc Ultra AV Sync issue. I tried a cheaper highly rated unit but it failed miserably. I played a lossless Dolby Atmos movie and sound was very choppy. I decided to just buy this one and am very impressed. Once the right settings are set and handshake is complete it is plug and play going forward and absolutely works for what I need. Very high quality product. Well worth the cost.

This did not pass the wife test. It’s simply not easy enough to pick up and use. We were better off buying a new tv that supported the features we needed than trying to get this to function properly. I’m sure it works for some people but you have to really want something specific for this to be worth it. Also there is hardly any documentation about the 8K out there. Most is documentation about the 4K model which has a different set of features and interface options

UPDATE: Still love it, but here's the link to the manual that SHOULD come in the box but doesn't. https://www.hdfury.com/docs/HDfuryArcana2.pdf ORIGINAL REVIEW: i have an older Sony TV that for whatever reason only plays Dolby Atmos on Netflix (not Max) using the native Android interface. Like almost all TVs, even the newest ones, it would not pass through the Atmos signal from the Apple TV 4K (ATV) to the Sonos Arc speaker. I really wanted Atmos with every streamer, not just Netflix, and I prefer the ATV interface. Much online research suggested a brand new TV, using the native interface (not ATV) or if using ATV, this very expensive HDMI splitter. Good news is, IT WORKS, but it is definitely NOT plug-and-play. No manual in the package, just a very tiny QR code that leads to a bad PDF of confusing pictograms and broken English. The tiny LED screen on the Arcana is difficult to read and often unclear on options and making selections. Best advice: go to some AI search engine like perplexity.ai and ask how to connect it. Specifically, turn off the autoplay previews in all your apps, and on the Arcana audio set-up do NOT select "Sonos arc/beam", but rather some weird setting that is a jumble of letters with "auto" is in the middle of it. It took me about an hour of rebooting the various components (Sonos Arc, ATV, Sony TV) with different settings, but it finally started working with Atmos on all streamers, not just Netflix. The Sonos app will show "HDMI" as source with a tiny Dolby Atmos logo. GOOD LUCK! I'm no AV techie, but I got it to work. Phone a friend might be another option. :) 5 MONTH UPDATE: Works great with occasional lapses that require checking the audio setting to make sure it's still on AUTOEXEC and of course the good old unplug it and plug it back in.

My Goal: To play my Playstation 5 game in 1 room, with my Racing Sim Rig and my VR equipment, and be able to go to the adjacent room and play adventure games with a flip of a switch. VR Room - 4K60 using a soundbar w/Dolby Atmos. Adjacent room - Pioneer Elite LX305 4K/120 w/ Dolby Vision/Atmos, etc. Plan: PS5 - Arcana 2 (input) to HDMI Out (VR Room 4K/60), and HDMI Copy (Adjacent Room 4K120 Pioneer Dolby Vision/Atmos, etc) via Fiber HDMI 2.1 cable (monoprice). Result: No Joy. at least with the cheap $20.00 switcher's I can get audio and video on the VR room where the PS5 situates (because the cable length is less than 3 meters) back to the drawing board.

My set up, Nvidia Shield, SamasungTV with ARC, Sonos Arc soundbar. The TV does supply a lossy Atmos to the Sonos, but everything sounded tinny. So I tried on of those other cheaper boxes no sound and choppy video. So I bit the bullet for the expensive HDFury 8k. Pugged in the cables (good 8k cables), powered everything up, waited for the handshaking... and boom full lossless to the Arc soundbar, fix my HDR problem on the TV, OMG, this thing is worth every penny.

No matter what I do I cannot get an apple TV - Sonos - Samsung TV system to work. Once everything is dialed in, the setup works great -- for a few days. And then, randomly, either sound is completely gone until I unplug the arcana a few times or tv is stuck on no signal found page. Tried every suggestion by support (they always send you the same copy paste response and I've never seen them helping anyone resolve their issues in their discord), CEC is turned off, updated software, no fix yet. This copy paste response doesn't help anyone. Your product does not work. There's always an excuse. First you said it is the CEC, then you ask for some info that doesn't help you debug anything. The reality is this product does not work and what happens to me is the expected outcome. You have to regularly power cycle this thing for it to work. This is definitely not a buy and forget product. An overpriced, overpromising HDMI switch.

When it worked it successfully fixed the lip sync problem I was having with my TV and Sky Q box. However, it was flaky and would lose sync and need frequent re-boots. Too expensive not to work 100% of the time.

Powerful tool. Use the discord channel to get help.

This is based on the 8K version as I used a 4K display and want dolby atmos+hdr and all that good stuff without any bottlenecks. I cannot say fot sure if the the normal HDFury would be enough. Audio works fine and "COMPLETELY FIXED" the notorius lipsync issue whe connecting a non-HDMI Input soundbar to a pc. Wish it let me run my computer at 144hz refresh rate but 120hz cap is still fine. This allows me to have no more OCD trying to find that perfect audio delay speed setting in video players trying to get audio to match the lips which I swear is impossible to achieve.

If you want to get eARC output from an HDMI source connected to a monitor without eARC - eg in order to route audio through a SONOS soundbar - this is a super expensive but (so far) reliable option
