I know that Arc stands for Audio Return Channel, but I cant find a cliffs notes on what exactly that means.
Does it mean its the best HDMI port to use for music/high quality audio?

Kinda like turning a HDMI cable from a one-way street, into a two-way street, in case the audio can come from either end?
Imagine watching cable TV:
**[Cable box]** — audio & video via HDMI –> **[AV receiver]** — video via HDMI –> **[TV]**
Or watching Netflix on your TV with the same setup:
**[AV receiver]** <– audio via HDMI (ARC) **[TV]**
In the above example, ARC enables the audio to go either way, in the HDMI connection between AV receiver and TV.
