Hello all
I would like to buy this device to play mkv files from a hard drive in addition to streaming Netflix and Youtube content.
The reason for this is that my Samsung Q6FN TV, which I also bought here, unfortunately cannot play files that use a DTS soundtrack.
Therefore, I would like to connect this device directly to my AV receiver in order to supply it with the sound track of the Nvidia Shield.
However, like my Samsung TV, the specifications of the device only state Dolby Digital passthrough capability, hence my question:
Can this device also output DTS soundtracks via passthrough or not?
Kind regards
Hello
This is not a problem. Download via the Google Play store, Kodi. Have the Yamaha RX v567 AV receiver. Nvidia Shield supports DTS-HD audio tracks via passthrough. Watch this video, it explains it well:

I love this thing. Currently you can even play your Steam games directly through the Nvidia Shield Geforce servers. Without having to stream your games from a laptop/PC.
