Nope. The chip must be designed to allow the signal to pass through. If not .. it won't pass through. However, keep in mind that buying a new HDMI 2.0 BDP with dual HDMI outputs will allow you to pass the new 4k/60fps video signal to the 4k TV with the HD Audio to the existing 4k 24/30 fps AVR (just as folks with HDMI 1.3 AVRs did when they wanted to play a 3D signal all be it purchasing a dual HDMI 1.4 BDP at that time).
