I just tested the 255 Mbps Jellyfish file in Kodi 16.0b3 on the Shield and it didn't even break a sweat. This thing is a little champ!

So I have two questions I couldn't 100% clarify while reading through this thread:
1. Is DTS-HD Passthrough possible now? I think this came with some update from NVIDIA
2. I read on a German Page that 1080p Content gets scaled to 4K by the Shield as it always sends a 4K signal to the TV. Since the Shield apparently has a bad upscaler 1080p content (and below) looks blurry and very bad - can anyone confirm this?

It may depend on the HDMI-In implemetation of the TV manufacturer. I have to compare a RPi2, an Atom-Box with Radeon GFX and the nVidia shield. KODI GUI and 1080p movies are more sharper and crisper on the other boxes. The nvidia GUI itself looks also blurry on 4k/60.

DTS HD passthrough works well on the shield, it's just a problem with kodi, if you want quickly DTS HD passthrough, you can use archos player, it's working well
