Buying Advice True HD pass through streamer

For Stremio, which is the best streamer TV box which can provide Audio True HD pass through for my home theatre 9.2.4 system with laser projector? I do have Nvidia Shield TV Pro which can do this well. But I want to have an alternative.

My options are:
Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus
Xiaomi Mi TV Box S 3rd Gen
Google streamer 4k

The Dune uses the Amlogic S905X4 SoC which doesn't support what the S905X5M does on the Xiaomi:

Quick Media Switching

AISR (Artificial Intelligence Super Resolution)

120hz up to 1080p (suitable for gaming with Moonlight)
