Description of Issue

Using the Rock (NUC). Thinking of getting Nucleus.

I want to run HDMI audio from LG TV to Rock/Nucleus and then via USB to McIntosh MA5300. I want to control the audio via Roon app. Can’t get TV audio to work via USB on McIntosh amp. What an I doing wrong?

Ahh. NUC’s HDMI is an output. What a miss on my part! Any other way to do this?

Well, ARC is supposed to be used with an HDMI output. The problem here is that neither ROCK nor Nucleus seem to support ARC.
