With the evolution of sound technologies, improving the ARC connection became necessary to allow it to carry much more information – so the main differences between ARC and eARC lie in bandwidth and speed.
Higher bandwidth allows a higher amount of data to be transferred. The digital audio signal doesn’t have to be compressed and is much more detailed, rich, and vibrant. As a result, with eARC, you can enjoy movie theatre quality surround sound via formats such as DTS:X and Dolby Atmos.
