Hi there, hope hou can help. I have some MKV files with Dolby Atmos sound tracks. I have a setup with a PS4 as BR player before my Marantz with Atmos setup (as of next week 7 channels down, 4 up and 2 subwoofers!).
Unfortunately the media player in the PS4 for some weird reason cannot do Atmos. You need to have the BR inserted on a physical disc for that.
So I am now looking around for a simple media player. It only has to attach to my NAS where the MKV files will reside and pass the signal 1:1 on to my Marantz AVR. I noted that the Dune 4K explicitly mentions the possibility, so does the Nvidea. Others say there is Dolby True HD pass through which in my opinion means it would also work. However, at the same time they then mention 7.1 which would imply not enough channels. So I am confused here. For future use I would like to have the same option at the DTS side.
Oh, video-wise not that many special demands. No need for 4K, just nice to have. 3D would however be preferred.
So any recommendations what to be looking for and, very important, what tech spec should I actually be looking for if the word "Atmos" is not explicitly mentioned?
Thanks!
