As both audio are pretty much the same, I went ARC for HDMI device control over optical.

Conclusion, I stay away from play any audio from my TV as I can, off course, I'm stuck with cable. I which Samsung could have done one HDMI out for just audio as they did with the UHD player.
I hate to have 3 devices on at the same time (receiver, BD player, TV) when I can have just 2 (receiver, TV)
