Hmm interesting. Do you know if the Shield can play DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD/MAT? My biggest issue currently is that my TV’s inbuilt Plex app can’t play these formats, so it’s constantly transcoding.
I was seriously considering building an HTPC but I’ve heard that Windows doesn’t play Dolby Vision files in non-native apps. Can you attest? In all likelihood I’m not a huge techie, so I’d probably stick with Windows anyways.

The Shield does play those audio formats and Dolby Vision/HDR10 but it doesn’t support HDR10+.
What you heard is correct about Windows. DV won’t play without a license.
