Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Does the new model (Apple Tv 4k 2021) encode Dolby Atmos in Dolby TrueHD or is it still working with Dolby MAT 2.0 ? With A12 processor on board compared to the old A10X , are there any difference in terms of Sound Quality or Audio Processing between the two Apple TV 4k models ?
I wish Apple could have given an option for bitstream pass-though over HDMI from the Apple TV 4K.
Apple TV 4K (1st generation) - Technical Specifications - Apple Support
Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) - Technical Specifications - Apple Support
Both output Dolby Atmos in Dolby MAT 2.0 format. (Xbox One X/S does the same.) See if support for that is brought by a firmware update for your audio system.

The HDMI 2.1 port and faster chip on the Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) facilitates more bandwidth and more image processing, which also allows new features. E.g. high frame rate HDR, and eARC from TV back to HomePods.

Thanks !
Was thinking of upgrading from the Old Apple TV 4K to the new one .
Anyways aside from the better Video Benefits , there is not much in the audio department that I can benefit in my current home theatre configuration.
i will wait until a new model of the same would be launched ,
or maybe Apple would unlock some benefits through a software/firmware update .
Eagerly Waiting for them to give support to full High-res Lossless Apple Music on Apple TV.
and Thanks for the Feedback form , would pass my message to them .
Are there any differences between Apple TV 4K (2017) & Apple TV 4K (2021) in terms of Audio Codecs support?
