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?

It lets your tv input and output on the same cable. The big one nobody is mentioning is that It lets you control the volume on your audio system with one remote. It also lets your tv automatically turn on and off your audio whenever your tv is on and switch audio sources. Say you have a playstation, Xbox, fire stick, chromecast, switch and such. Whatever you are using as the input to your tv will output audio to the sound system through the arc instead of having to go through the sound system as well. For actual sound quality, a fiber optic cable is probably better. Used to be in the way back time of the long ago, there were a ton of audio inputs on your sound system you had to hook everything to the head unit on your sound system and have a second remote for it changing the input any time you switched devices. It was a pain in the ass making it where anytime you had people over they would never know how to use the tv. It basically mutes the tv sound and turns the sound system into the tv speakers seamlessly without having to do a bunch of bullshit like, using a ton of cables and keeping up with one more remote.
