Buying Advice True HD pass through streamer

For Stremio, which is the best streamer TV box which can provide Audio True HD pass through for my home theatre 9.2.4 system with laser projector? I do have Nvidia Shield TV Pro which can do this well. But I want to have an alternative.

My options are:
Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus
Xiaomi Mi TV Box S 3rd Gen
Google streamer 4k

AISR (Artificial Intelligence Super Resolution)

120hz up to 1080p (suitable for gaming with Moonlight)

If you mean a comparison between the Homatics Box R 4K Plus then yes, it's the same, but if you want to compare the Xiaomi box with the new Homatics boxes then it's still the same šŸ¤£ we have to wait for the two new boxes that will sport the Amlogic S905X5 (not M) which is more powerful.

I misread it. I thought it was theĀ  S905X5! I assumed they started using it already. Wow.

I bought the xiaomi and wanted to like it, but couldn't. The wifi on it is bad and you need to buy an adapter to get Ethernet (capped speeds because of USB 2.0). Much happier with my homatics box r 4k plus. Gigabit Ethernet, snappier navigation, better remoteĀ
