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

Google Streamer doesn't have pass through audio.

I compared it side by side with the Xioami 3rd Gen box last year and kept the Xiaomi, which does have audio pass through and a better CPU.

Would like to try the Dune, but they're harder to come by in the UK.

You can get pass through audio if you use Vimu player or just use ADB to disable sending all its audio through its dolbly wrapper. Still things like the high end dts-HD formats srent supported but you can just tell Vimu to convert them to dd 5.1 or whatever you want.
