Assuming your receiver passes through HDR, etc, is it better to run a single HDMI from the receiver to the TV(ARC) or run all HDMIs to the TV and optical back to the receiver? I'm partial to the first option, but then you're tied to one TV calibration for all inputs.

and this!!!
its a bit of a catch22 isn't it? the former makes the AVR the 'brain' as it should be but then you're stuck manually changing the TV calibration presets.

Always better to run to the receiver. Optical can’t handle lossless audio. I forget which standard it caps out at but it’s far more lossy. Go through the receiver

If I had the ability to run anything, it would be probably 2 HDMI (one as a spare) and 2 1000bit Ethernet (in case the HDMI fails)

That's just completely false. Optical can handle up to 24/96 and in some instances will do 24/192. CD (lossless) is 16/44.1. Granted that's the bottom of the lossless bitrate/sample rate.
That being said, I'd still never go with optical if HDMI were an option.

My bad. I was just thinking about DTS-HD MA and TrueHD and Atmos
