Mi Box DD support for streaming services in the future?

by Silenttap

I was wondering if Mi Box is going to get DD+ (Dolby Digital Plus) to DD (Dolby Digital) conversion for e.g. Netflix in the future (nougat?). Or should I just start looking for a DD+ capable amp.

Atm my amp only supports DD so all DD+ streaming service audio is played as 2.0 :(

And yes with kodi I can convert DD+ to DD but that doesn't really help when it comes to Netflix...

If I start looking for a new amp, what else should I be aware so that the amp would be at least somewhat future proof. 4K passthrough etc? Atm I am using Mibox with 720p video projector and a Pioneer VSX-519V amp in between and so far only thing missing is 5.1 in Netflix.

Seems to work for me with the nougat betas in Netflix and Google play movies.

Is it possible nowadays to run Netflix thru Kodi as an addon with Mi Box?

my LG tv is connected through my yamaha soundbar (DD,DTS only) via toslink which has WebOS and netflix installed already..I can see 5.1 on its netflix app and my yamaha outputs DD sound but with xiaomi box with netflix installed I cant have 5.1 and DD output on my soundbar .. Means my LG transcode DD+ to DD on the fly..hope xiaomi will do the same thing
