I still wonder if the Fire TV HDMI would recognize an AVR or pre/pro as
a display device, without the need for the actual display to be powered
on.  For example, when I connect my laptop’s HDMI to my pre/pro, the
laptop indicates the pre/pro’s model number as the connected display,
because it is receiving the HDMI signal.  If I get a Fire TV, I’ll test
this.  Anyone with the Fire TV’s HDMI connected to an AVR or pre/pro
could also test this.

I would be using the Fire TV with a front projector, so would not want
to fire up the projector just to start the Fire TV.  However, if I only
need to turn on the pre/pro…no big deal.

My library is 100% 16/44.1 flac files, so I could set the SB Player
output accordingly and hope that the Fire TV’s optical outputs an
unmolested 16/44.1 PCM signal.  My DAC displays sample rate, so I would
at least be able to verify the 44.1 kHz sample rate.  Hopefully, the
Fire TV doesn’t resample to a set sample rate, like the ATV does at 48
kHz.  

As a side note, I would assume that the Fire TV’s optical is capable of
outputting 48 kHz, since that is the standard for audio soundtracks from
video content.

How does the SB Player handle replaygain?  A 24 bit or 32 bit volume
control within the Fire TV?
