And as Matt has said, 4K from the HDMI and DP->HDMI route will be max 30Hz refresh.

As you can tell, I haven't done enough homework to know the difference with regard to refresh rate(s), I kinda just want to make sure things work. I know the basics (e.g., resolutions/frame sizes, etc), but not quite sure how refresh rates affect picture quality. I know my UHD has a max refresh rate of 60Hz which is plenty for primary use with OpenELEC on ChromeBox. When CB is connected directly to UHD with HDMI I get [email protected]. I also had no clue that DP could carry audio, so I'm definitely going DP->HDMI to receiver now that I know this.
Thanks guys for the info. Amazon has both my DP and Flirc receiver coming today which will complete my CB setup
