Apple TV's dirty little secret

Welcome back to In Layman's Terms! In today's episode, I admit my mistake regarding the Apple TV's support for Dolby Atmos and DTS-X. If you have an AV receiver or soundbar, you might be missing out on true Atmos sound due to Apple TV's lack of audio pass-through. I recently upgraded my home theatre and discovered this crucial detail while ripping my own 4K Blu-rays for Plex. Despite seeing the Atmos logo, what I heard was just 5.1 audio. Unlike devices like the Xbox or Nvidia Shield, the Apple TV doesn't support audio pass-through, which is necessary for the best quality sound. Join me as I dive into the details and explore why Apple TV might not be the best choice for audio enthusiasts. However, for everyday streaming, it's still the top contender. Let's hope Apple updates this feature soon! If you have insights, please share them in the comments. Thanks for watching, and see you next time! #AppleTV #DolbyAtmos #HomeTheatre #AudioPassThrough #InLaymansTerms #Plex #4KBluRay #TechReview
