Since the 2830 is just a processor revision and there are no new drivers, I would say you've got buckleys chance of it working.
PAP/MEI is a legacy method of protecting audio in Windows. It's possible Intel could implement the same thing using a newer baytrail compatible standard such as "Intel Trusted Execution Engine" (Intel® TXE).
There are some reports of DTS-HD passthrough working in Windows for people with the ECS Liva (see newegg reviews and Anandtech review). That box uses a newer C0 stepping N2807 so maybe that is also required.
Can someone test with the latest drivers found here:

If that doesn't work, maybe also test these older NUC specific ones:
