Most people who currently enjoy 5.1 or 7.1 already have a Dolby/DTS capable receiver and let the receiver do the decoding. Most upated android boxes offer HD passthrough sending the signal directly to the receiver which decodes and outputs to the speakers.
What is benefit of android box doing the decoding ? You can't get 5.1 or 7.1 sound without the speaker set up and you cant hook speakers up directly to the android box so I assume you must still connect the box to the receiver.
If you are hooking up directly to the tv it is just going to downscale the signal to what is supported by the tv.
Am I missing something?
