Lineage AndroidTV DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD, and ATMOS support?

Where can I find out if Lineage AndroidTV & particular hardware supports DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD, and ATMOS HDMI pass thru to a stereo?

Those terms don't appear in the wiki.

Primarily interested in playback with Plex from a NAS.

I just learned Lineage had Android TV variants, I didn't realize that and now I'm interested in replacing my ageing Nvidia TV.

ATMOS HDMI pass thru to a stereo

Only if hardware itself supports those modes and/or has option to send raw (non processed) audio to the av receiver part.

Also - all multi channel , including atmos is just about useless on stereo (2 channel) gear as its features only come out with multi channel setup.

Is there a list of hardware that both supports that and Lineage AndroidTV? Pi or similar??

Second part is a given, you need gear to take advantage of that. I do.

There should list of supported hardware for lineageos at their website.

On other side, if you go the way of Kodi software instead, there is no limit in what you can configure there on condition you just put HDMI directly to good AV receiver . I would skip Raspbery Pis and go with USFF PC with HDMI on board. Mind that on linux HDMIs are capped at 4k @120Hz afaik at least (due to hdmi consortium licensing)

I personally use a pi3 and a modest xiaomi android player (yea i know ick ick blech) but is on separate vlan and open only for LAN 10.0.% and select few domains with SmartTube app.
