Hey all,
Longtime Kodi user here. My current box is an Intel NUC NUC7CJYHN (Celeron J4025 I think) running LibreELEC. I'm also using an AppleTV 4K (might be 2nd gen, def not 3rd) for streaming services. I have a Denon AVR-X2300W that I use to switch HDMI and get Dolby TrueHD and DTS-MA.
I'm going to be buying my first 4K TV in the coming weeks. It's my understanding that the Denon will pass through HDR/DV content. I can't go direct to TV and retain the audio support as the Denon only has ARC and not eARC.
My question is: Is there a box suggestion that will allow me to display HDR and DV content (stored locally on my network via unRAID) while continuing to pass through my Denon? i.e. Can I have the visual goodies and keep my audio the way it is? It doesn't sound like LibreELEC will let me do this. If the new box can also replace the ATV for streaming content, that's fine. It doesn't strictly need to unless there's a limitation of the ATV I don't yet understand because I've been mired in TV research.
If there's something else I'm not thinking of/understanding, that feedback would also be great.
EDIT: my ATV is a 1st gen ATV 4K
Thanks everyone for your time,
