eARC was in fact invented to allow the television to output all the uncompressed codecs to sound bars and AV receivers. The original questioner asked how people watch Netflix with the SP3 and my answer was I use optical. I use the optical input on the SP3 from my Sony 65A9G. I don't use Netflix for critical sound and movie watching due to compression. I'd buy the blu-ray or 4kUHD blu-ray. The fact that the SP3 does not accommodate eARC does not diminish its sonic prowess. You don't buy an SP3 chasing codecs and features. You buy the SP3 for pure unadulterated sound. I just added a Bryston phono pre-amp and power supply to my SP3, the BP-2 and the PS3. I played some LPs from a cheap Techniques turntable and it got my interest until the motor died. Now I'm waiting on a new Rega P6 with a moving coil cartridge. I don't care about eARC as I lean more towards high fidelity. My turntable will be completely manual not semi-automatic or automatic because I want to get the maximum sound from my Bryston combo. If one needs eARC, they need to buy one of those products listed that has that feature as that is your priority. Don't blast the SP3 for not having that feature, but rather blast the SP3 if its sound is not better than the products you listed with eARC.

Why not the Bryston turntable. Gbaby?

I thought Bryston stopped making it. Am I wrong?

Sorry, I don't know. I don't do analog.

Well, let me tell you about my venture into analog. While I own both the BDP3 and BDA3, recently, I purchased the Bryston BP2 and PS3 phono pre-amp and power supply so I could play my turntable whose motor died almost immediately after I got my new phono pre-amp. Today, a new Rega P6 turntable with a moving coil cartridge arrived. I have been listening to LPs since it arrived. I forgot how sweet mid range and high frequencies can sound. If you have albums, the BP2 and PS3 are indispensable. Now, with the SP3, I got it all, a killer surround processor and a killer analog phono pre-amp.

Sounds pretty cool. Haven't owned an album in nearly fifty years. I think a nephew may have some of my old ones, by a circuitous route.

In college,I collected records from places of employment, radio stations, and the Record Bar. I have about 1,500 maybe less. I don't know but I have a lot. So, now is the time for me to play them before my hearing diminishes.Thankfully, my albums are in pristine condition. My propensity for being a record collector back in the day is really paying off. There is really something to analog if you have full range 2 channel speakers. The bass is a given, but a sax cymbal, voice, anything approaching mid to high frequencies is sweet to the ears.I guess Thomas Edison wins.
