You can find people complaining about it on the Plex forum going back at least 5-years, maybe more. Plex has been aware of the issue for literally years. I just have a shitty Sony soundbar so this is fine. While it isn't on-par with Nvidia's "AI" solution it's good enough, especially when they're not side by side.īut to answer your actual question if audio is your concern go with a Shield as the ATV transcodes everything to PCM anyway. I was also worried about missing the AI Upscaling of the Shield but honestly, the passive upscaling in the ATV is pretty damn good. So far the Apple TV is a much cleaner and faster experience but for the enthusiasts the Shield is much better option due to audio pass-through and profile 7 Dolby Vision support.įor day to day use it's awesome to be able to control my TV from my iPad, Apple Watch and iPhone quickly and seamlessly via Control Center.

I don't mind so much since it's usually fixed with a force close or two but the wife and kids were very annoyed. The Plex app on my Shields is just a buggy mess. I only bought it mostly for the ecosystem integration and fluidity of the OS. I just got the new Apple TV to replace one of my 2019 Shields.
