Episode notes

When using Plex played via the Apple TV 4K to play their Blu-ray rips, it can't pass through at miss or DTS X as in the object based audio. Currently only the Nvidia Shield Pro, Dune 4K and some other Android based media players support true pass through audio. Amazon has started to support some of it with the new FireCube though only for at miss not DTS X. But if you do care one way to deal with that is just get a receiver and make sure it includes all the alphabet soup of stuff that you care about.

The ATP Store is BACK, baby! Order your merch before Saturday, 6 May.
