Someone help me out here. Didn't Outlaw mention they are working with some company that was making a device to split the video from the audio so that 4K video could be sent to a display but the audio could still be sent to "older" equipment? I tried finding the post but was unsuccessful.

This might fit the bill for hotroding (seems I invented a new word) a custom audio processing solution. However I'd be concerned about lining up the audio and video after separate processing chains.

My personal preference is minimalistic (another new word!) especially when going back and forth between digital and analog domains.
