AV Amplifier, 5.1 and HD sound formats

Hello,

I am currently running a Libreelec on a Pi2 via this particular amplifier:

My backend server has a single DVB-S2 tuner and a dual DVB-T tuner.

I am in the UK, so I pick up Freesat and Freeview.

At the moment, all my HD recordings seem to play 5.1 in surround sound whenever available.

As I understand it, DVB-S2 transmit HD sound in Dolby Digital, which my amp has no problem dealing with this.

My question is this – I wanted to start increasing the number of HD channels I can record and was thinking of swapping the DVB-T tuner for a DVB-T2 tuner.

It seems, however, that DVB-T2 HD audio is in fact transmitted in AAC-LC.

Is my amplifier capable of playing Freeview HD recordings in 5.1?
