  • For straight Plex stuff I use an AppleTV since I actually own and encode all my own media from disc for my server. So the formats are all the same and optimized for that device. No transcoding required(not even for subtitles).

    This is use case specific… I wanted something that would play 4K disc rips without losing anything. So I picked up a AM6B+ streaming box. Flashed coreElec and loaded the Dolby vision stuff in and use Kodi. That allows me to play 4K disc rips straight from the folder with all features (Dolby Vision profile 7 full enhancement layer) and all audio formats (Atmos/DTS:X, etc). I control it with a K400 Plus wireless keyboard. Since this is still Kodi you can load a Plex plugin and pull content from there no problem.

    More setup Info(sorry Reddit link).

    Kodi recognizes my DV display and the receiver is picking up Atmos no problems.
