If you’re a Plex person with 4k Remuxes true hd audio all that get the shield. If you just use the Carrie’s streaming apps then Apple is the move

Shield Pro is getting kinda slow IMO... I frequently get UI slowdowns and other bullshit from the android bloat... I just recently switched to an apple tv 4k - Everything on that is lightning fast. I would like to put in a full atmos setup though, and the apple doesn't pass through trueHD. Maybe by the time I get it done there will be something new that has the atmos truehd support... Come on apple, it shouldn't be that hard.
