Best client hardware for TrueHD and HDR10 - Seb101 - 2024-05-14

I just discovered the LG WebOS app cannot output TrueHD over eARC due to a hardware limitation that means the native apps on LG TVs cannot output lossless audio. 

What is the most cost effective external device I can get that supports TrueHD and 4k HDR10 over HDMI?

There is a lot of coverage of the Nvidia Sheild.  Is that still the best?

The Shield is still the best in most people's opinion. Particularly with regards to audio. It's codec support doesn't include AV1 if that matters.

Thanks!

Does it need to be the ‘Pro’ version or will the regular Shield TV suffice for this also?

I think the the Pro is the model to get.
