Q: 1. Do HDBaseT receivers come with this switcher?

A: Yes, Four HDBaseT receivers are included with the Alfatron MUH44E 4x4 4K HDBaseT Matrix Switcher.

Q: 2. Will this device successfully output sound via optical out to my DACmagic plus from Cambridge Audio? I am planning on connecting this device with either the new apple tv 4k or roku ultra. I will use my Rega Brio analog only integrated amplifier for 2 channel audio. Many thanks for your guidance.

A: Hi Jacques. While we haven't tested the OMX-05HMHM0001 with the DACMagic unit specifically, we don't foresee any issues. You should be able to connect the TOSLINK output of the OMX-05HMHM0001 right to the input of our DACMagic Plus unit and the extracted audio signal should pass without issue as long as the DACMagic supports the audio format being output. Thank you!
