Dolby Atmos/DTS:X passtrough

[Wallace]

I am thinking of buying iMXQpro as my htpc is not up to playing 4K h.265 mkv's. I am sure box will be fine for the video but can it passthrough the HD audio via hdmi to the av amp ? Need Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support.
Don't mind using openelec.
( Smart UHD Tv plays back 4K video fine from usb or network but only sends Dolby 5.1 or DTS to amp as thats all ARC supports.)

I've not got the audio equipment to test. Also just to double check it is the v2 version of the iMXQpro you're interested in?

Do any forum members have the iMXQpro v2 with a suitable AV amp and can test Atmos/DTS:X via HDMI, please?

I went ahead and bought the iMXpro v2. On libreelec it does passthrough both DTS:X and Dolby Atmos to av receiver .On android using kodi not so good.Can only manage pcm stereverall in libreelec works fine .

Make sure in kodi setting you have passthough and 2.0 channel set. Also highlight audio transcoding.
Also out side kodi make sure your setting for audio match.

Good luck
