This may be a stupid qn. I have Kodi 18.3 on FireStick 4K, passthru enabled and am playing back UHD rip with TrueHD 7.1 audio, it shows up on my AVR as 5.1 PCM (I only have 5.1 speakers so its fine).
Does this mean Kodi is decoding HD audio->PCM or is it just reading the uncompressed audio and passthru in a different format?
And is there any difference in audio quality in this PCM vs HD bitstreaming?
I see no reason to get a Shield etc if the audio quality is same, true?
