    @Nejiro Sorry, I wish I could - I use a HDFury Vertex2. I asked for feedback for a friend as well as for the forum generally

    That is, true-hd works, dolby vision works, hdr-10 works and dts-hd doesn't? It seems absurd to me...... Thanks for the advice of HD-fury but it costs twice as much as Zidoo , I don't think it makes sense to spend double the Zidoo for an hdmi splitter, at this point I give up something and end of the story....... Do you understand that dta-hd only works with hd fury?

    it wil fur sure work whit the hd fury arcana its only 200 and yes the problem is your older yamaha and you have a choice to buy a hd fury ore buy a new receiver that wil properly work whit 4k

    I understand but the arcana costs €229, so more than the Zidoo, at this point I'll take the uhd3000 :D or give up the dolby vision.....

    Basically from what I understand the Zidoo reads the edid of the tv (Sony 65A80K) which does not support dts-hd and therefore does not send the stream, there is no way to make the zidoo read the edid of the yamaha which supports dts -hd?

    if spending couple hundred pounds on more gear ,your better off spending it on a new model reciever which will have no issues

    new denon 2800h is like 699 pounds so on sale your 1/3 the way
    i know i had to do it with my Sony 1080 atmos amp and never regretted it ,plus it gave me the chance to add 2 more hieght speakers and the newer denon H series can do 4 seperate subs out too now

    You can build custom EDID with all the stuff you like. Here is the thread dedicated to it, all 33 pages of EDID stuff here :D
    Ask Mark, he will help you build it.
    There are HDMI splitters that support configuration files to merge EDID's as well.

    Custom file for Zidoo is the simplest solution.

    Right but the splitter I bought doesn't give me the possibility to decide the edid to send it, it does everything by itself and apparently it takes the one from the TV.......

    see if you can still find an old AVRKey (made by HDFury), discontinued but they may be found as old stock or second hand. It just works (with DV and lossless audio bitstream) and is cheaper than the new models......

    Do you recommend Hdfury, is there the possibility of manually entering the edid and in this case would I put the Yamaha's edid? Because if not, I'd be at the same point as before.....

    Most definately yes. I have never had a single issue with my Z1000 Pro connectivity or EDID wise. With the latter, I naturally take advice from @Markswift2003 as EDID stuff has been and still is a complete enigma to me. I questioned whether I still needed it after changing TV's from a Samsung Q950 QLED TV, for which it was purchased to get HDR10+ signals, to an LG G2 OLED TV. I made the personal decision to stick with the HDFury and again haven't experienced any issues at all, particularly sound-wise through my Yamaha AVR. Yes it cost a lot but never had a tweet from it, other than my HDMI cables are always coming loose! Put something on for example Top Gun Maverick and my room shakes lol and on one occasion, shook an HDMI cable loose, resulting in total loss of Video! Considering some use of tape to keep them in place!

    BTW updating the HDFury's EDID could not be simpler. I use my Tablet to login to the HDFury and after downloading or receiving an EDID file, it takes seconds to upload it and see the effects on your display!

    what hdfury do you have? I read Avrkey gets really hot.

    As a side question, does separting out the audio only to reciever result in any better quality sound? I feel like that it did on the Oppo 203 that has a separate HDMI out like the UHD3000.

    As noted already, I've had my AVRKey for several years and updated firmware once (from a PC). There were early reports (years ago) of heat but mine is behind the TV, so I don't see it :cool:

    It functions fine on the standard auto settings, with no need to input anything: DV to the OLED TV and full bitstream audio to my old Yamaha Aventage (non-4K).
    I purchased originally for my HiMedia Q10 Pro (when I got the 4K TV) and have now used it with the Z1000 Pro for over a year....
