I never expected to see JBL Synthesis mentioned on HN by anybody else... Are the Synthesis preamp/processors sending out digital audio now? When I was consulting for them the processors exclusively sent analog, usually over XLR, even for Atmos. But the SDEC EQ stage used 96kHz internally, then could send digital audio to the amp over Blu link.

I still use the SDEC EQ and Blu link for audio distribution in my house.

Yeah, the 55s have added AES/Dante output with the caveat it has to be downsampled because HDCP. That said, 24 bit/48 kHz to the speaker is into placebo territory.
