I just ordered a 4K TV and want to replace my current HTPC with a Shield.
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

DTS-HD Passthrough works on internal Players but not KODI yet. There is a workaround to channel DTS-HD and True-HD via LPCM.

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?

Mine is also blurry but on every resolution. 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.
