Yes (on Android only: 640 kbit/s on all other OS including 25$ RPi). AC3 is lossy anyways. It makes zero sense to reencode a decoded signal back to AC3 just to see Dolby on the AVR display. But for those shitty boxes with just ARC output there is no alternative as they are limited to 2 PCM channels.
