HDMI 2.0 is a pain though. My receiver only passes through 1.4, so it's either uncompressed sound or 4K picture.

 Bad design, why can't it handle sound and picture differently. By the time I upgrade my amp there will probably be a newer incompatible HDMI on the horizon... I have no clue why ARC can't do linear PCM either. The cables are not directional and it's only using it one way when I need ARC. I guess the controllers are one way. Bad design

I don't even use my receivers HDMI pass through. - Everything goes to my TV, my TV then outputs to the receiver via optical audio... I get all my cake and eat it too.

Optical audio is also limited to 2.0 uncompressed or 5.1//7.1 lossy compressed. Same as HDMI ARC.

I use both the amp and the tv for inputs, too many devices, not enough ports on either. Combined it works!
