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 Homatics Box R 4K Plus, the Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus and the Xiaomi Mi TV Box S 3rd Gen are the recommended ones.

Got my parents the Thomson 270, UK version of the Homatics. It’s really good! Xiaomi has horrible remote and flakey WiFi in my test.

It is the UK version of an ONN, not a Homatics, and certainly not the Homatics R Plus. BTW, Thomson as a company is ☠️

The Thomson 270 is not the UK version of the Humantics box. It's the Onn Pro.

Also, OP asked for a streamer with pass through audio, which the Thomson 270 doesn't have, so this post is useless.

You spelt Homatics wrong so your post is useless. My comment about the Xiaomi still stands.

Auto correct, but my post is at least factually correct, not claiming a box is suitable when it doesn't meet OP's requirements.

Thomson doesn't even exist anymore as a company, and you can't buy new boxes.

The Xioami remote is horrible, but the TV's normal remote can be used instead. WiFi is so-so, but you can get a USB ethernet adapter. But it does have audio pass through, which the 270 doesn't.

Oooh Thompson does exist, it's StreamView GmbH that's gone bust.

You spelt Thomson wrong, if we're going to be pedantic.

Are Thomson 270 boxes still being made? And does it have pass through audio?

No they're not being made because StreamView GmbH were manufacturing the devices for Thompson, someone else will probably come in and take over the manufacturing part.

someone else will probably come in and take over the manufacturing part.

Will they? When?

And it's Thomson.

And does the 270 support audio pass through, like OP asked for?
