It depends on the exact components and connections. In both instances, it will probably output the best possible audio stream that the hardware will support.

The Apple TV box can output Multichannel (up to 7.1) or Dolby Atmos (when Atmos-capable audio system is connected). So that relies on other hardware as well.
