As an example if you have a 5.1 Dolby Digital, only audio system - you will not get 5.1 audio when using the Netflix or Prime Video Apps when using a Shield.

A Fire TV Stick with it's Dolby Audio licence has no such problems.

DD5.1 has always played fine via the Netflix and Amazon Video apps on my Shield...

Because the Shield would be connected to a DD+ audio receiver.
Shield has no Dolby Audio licence to downmix DD+ Netflix audio into DD, the FireTV Sticks do.

Are you sure you are getting DD 5.1 and not DD+ 5.1?

Using Kodi and Shield 2017 I am able to passthrough Atmos/DTS-X/Auro 3D to my Denon 6400. The only one I have not tested is IMAX Enhanced (I will not be able until I get a receiver that is also supports it).

I'm solid everyday 4 hours, perhaps it's a heat issue?

Not in my experience. 

I have 4 shields running in my house and haven't experienced crashes on any of them. In fact, one shield is being used exclusively as a server for tinycam pro so that I can remotely view my IP cameras. It has been up and running for over 3 months with 0 reboots and no problems.
