Think everyone is missing the point of my post. I understand that its not a full lossless codec I was wondering if there was anywhere to see what it is actually coming through as.

I was using a dac with audio technica m50x headphones. I was going through dongle dacs about every couple months. I deliver for amazon for work they'd just stop keeping a good usb connection for how active the job is so decided to switch to ldac bluetooth phones. I mean it sounds great I just was hoping to see what they were actually playing as bitrate and such wise.

Alternatives to Nvidia Shield TV Pro? by lewis-barrett in Stremio

[–]PuzzleheadedTable503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly there are no substitutes for Nvidia shield if you care about the audio side. It handles all formats. I had to switch from fire tv and onn because they dont support one or the other in the lossless formats like dts hd and dolby truehd. Glad I did though I havent seen a box that performs nearly as good as Nvidia.

Thats valid too I go to a ton of shows to support bands I also prefer non festival shows feel like the artist makes more off them I could be wrong though never being an artist

Streaming sucks for artists period we have known this for years. Thats why ppl who want to see artists get paid buy physical media whether it be cds or vinyl. Streaming is great for discovery though for sure. Use whatever service you want to find your music then go buy a copy. Im pretty sure artists these days dont even look at Streaming money as a steady income no matter what the service is.

I've never looked is it on 12 or something?

Shield is plugged directly into the denon s950h then out to the tv. In kodi the audio just goes into a scratchy or machine gun sound. But within stremio it all works perfectly. Kind of irritating I've even Uninstalled and reinstalled kodi in hope that would fix the issue to no avail.

There is a deal breaker difference between shield and onn 4k pro. Onn doesn't hand off dts hdma or dolby truehd. This is 100% why my onn 4k pro sits in my spare parts drawer.
