im glad to report that this second generation 2023 fire stick 4k device supports passthrough of dolby atmos truehd audio to your truehdatmos capable receiver using plex  it does not downconvert to lossy you get the full truehd lossless signal passed to the receiver  so this is probably the most economical solution on the market if you are looking to obtain this functionality from a smart tv device  you do not need the 4k max model to do this and is probably overkill for most people and you certainly dont need to spend 200 on an nvidia shield tv pro to achieve this which for the longest time was the only way to get this capability beyond hooking up a pc to your sound systemunfortunately for movie titles that use dtshd or dtsx as of the time of this review plex does not support passthrough of these codecs it only passes the lossy dts 51 core  however there are reports it works with other apps such as kodi so it appears to be an app issue and not a device issue hopefully this feature will get added with future software updates
