I’m asking as I see no DD logos anywhere in any of the Marketing material out there, and seeing problems with TV’s and 5.1 DD Netflix & Amazon Video audio output.

It doesn’t have Dolby Audio license. It can only passthrough Dolby audio.

Its pretty baffling when a $69 Xiaomi Mi Box can come with DD/DTS licenses, and even a 10 year old PS3 can decode 7.1 DD+ to 5.1 Multichannel PCM. Yet a 2017 nVIDIA Shield cannot, when using (Non Kodi) Android Apps.
