So I am left with DTS Play-fi to stream hi-res audio from my online music services, but again the visual content is missing. Oh and BTW the Apple TV 4K does not pass through audio bit streams either from Music apps to my AVR, nor does any Of Amazon products. I remember when when Roku/Amazon took down the first Amazon Music app because it was trash, and then several long months went by before the new app came back. I suspect the Amazon Music HD app on Roku is the true culprit, it just doesn’t have the audio signal for HD music playback. Getting back on topic here, it would just be nice, and seems so simple, for the Roku to actually “pass-through” the audio signal to my AVR without altering it. HEOS sounds pretty good, but I am not sure I can confirm the actual bit rate being played by the Denon AVR. However some people on various forums and articles that I have read recently claim that HEOS actually does not play back in true bit perfect form and compresses the audio information. I have a Denon AVR in my living room that uses HEOS, which I am impressed with, which of course provides the visual content display for Amazon Music HD and claims to playback in hi-res. That is why I was hoping Roku would solve this problem by allowing the audio to actually “pass-through” and allow my AVR to decode the signal, of course the MRX-720 has very high level DACs built into it. Well I usually stream to my Anthem MRX-720 from Amazon Music HD via DTS Play-Fi using an iphone or ipad, so I can get hi-res playback, that is bit perfect, but I miss the visual portion, you know the album art and lyrics being displayed on my TV.
