DTMHibbert, it will decode the HD audio streams properly to PCM, but using a soundbar isn't going show off any difference between legacy codecs and the newer HD codecs (lossless or not). Obviously if you only ripped HD tracks you want to play them, but DTS HD* tracks have the legacy DTS codec with the HD stream. That legacy DTS track can be bitstreamed from the box. I believe TrueHD has no requirement for having a core track embedded, I can't think of any discs that didn't just have an additional AC-3 track to go with the lossless track. Still Kodi decodes TrueHD fine as well.
