Sometimes a simple solution can be difficult. 
It works, thank you.

You need to set the settings mode to Advance or Expert (where it shows Standard in your first pic), then select each individual supported codec.

Post your Debug Log - it will tell what it finds. If something analog is plugged in, kodi won't have PT devices.

The root cause is that I plugged in a subwoofer to headset jack.All the options under pass-through menu showed up after I pull out the subwoofer line from the headset jack. And DTS was played back by transcode to AC3 perfectly. Thanks a lot!

NVidia Shield TV is connected to the receiver via hdmi. The Nvidia shield is running on Kodi 17.6 with audio passthrough activated. Dolby works as intended, whereas DTS doesn’t. What do I do to get DTS passthrough working?
Thanks
After doing all the reasonable settings I still couldn't get it to work, but then i found it how to fix it:
The solution for me was that I had to go to turn on expert option mode - you can select option mode on the bottom left of the screen while you are in settings - and then I had to check the "DTS compatible receiver" option, which was set to false by default.

Sync Playback to display is off. 2.0 Channels. Expert mode. Still no "DTS compatible receiver" option.
The only analog cabling is inputs, which for laughs I pulled out. I'm passing the audio via HDMI ARC, does it consider that analog?
I'm stumped. SPMC is too old to still be running.

No, it does not. See in your debug log your device does simply not support it. With luck, the internal hacked player does. If spmc works, the the shitty build will work with the same method. Warnings apply.

Sony's own Video app will passthrough DTS and the core of DTS-HD MA. The hardware is fine. It's a Kodi issue.
That said, Sony's app is barebones so avoided whenever possible.
