New Fire TV 3 is out with Fire OS 6 api v25
Will it be able to do DTS-HD and TrueHD?
log is below which lists those codecs but what do I know? As expected DTS/DD works in SPMC using IEC Passthrough. Haven' tried anything else.
Please let me know if there is anything you need me to test etc. Thanks

TrueHD, DTSHD support was patched out by them.
Thanks very much for the response. That's extremely unfortunate. HD audio codec support would have made this a great Kodi client. Realizing that the shield is the way to go....Do you know if any <$100 non-rooted/drm compatible Android boxes exist that support HD audio?
EDIT
per page 1, is the list below the best list to go by?
"Android Firmware that meets the IEC61937 Audio passthrough standard used in SPMC 16.6.0 / Kodi Krypton v17 currently includes the Xiaomi Mi Box, MINIX U9-H, nVIDIA Shield (Nougat), WeTek Hub and Play2 with the MM Firmware update."
I have no idea to be honest. I only write vendor agnostic code - I don't use Android and I don't have a box. You need to wait someone else to chime in.
