High-resolution audio playback up to 24-bit/192 kHz over HDMI and USB I'm an Amazon Prime, Netflix, SlingTV and over the air TV user.ĭolby Atmos and DTS-X surround sound pass through over HDMI I would not recommend using it as a Plex Server as it doesn't have enough CPU power for multiple and or transcoded streams, but as an all around streamer. I have used devices from Ruku, was an avid Apple TV user for years and then a FireTV user for almost as long, but to me and for my needs, the Shield is the best player that I have come across. In my humble opinion, the shield is faster to load / switch between apps, works like a dream as a Plex client and it has played everything I've thrown at it with ease. 2s, I have one left but I'm waiting for another sale or a new version to become available before I swap out the FireTV.
