Hmm I’m curious if this one does any better than the CCwGTV when it comes to multi channel aac. For whatever reason when playing 5.1aac from Plex my Chromecast outputs lpcm to my soundbar instead of converting to DD5.1 which results in the rear surrounds being incorrectly mapped. All of my Dolby content plays fine, and it seems some client devices have incorrect transcoding profiles. It isn’t a problem with my Chromecast ultra (no GTV), which may have to do with it having an option to always output (E)AC3 so when I’m using the older Chromecast all my AAC5.1 correctly converts to DD or DD+
