Greetings!

I'm starting to look past the ATV/Infuse for better HDR support and such.

I know the early Dune BD Prime's had no problems decoding lossless TrueHD/DTS Master HD and output to LPCM 7.1 via HDMI. Thus an UHD722 works perfect with it.

Today an AppleTV 2022 with Infuse PRO subscription does this as well.

What about the newer Dune HD Solo 8K.

I know the easiest thing to test these was to load up an atmos 7.1 lossless demo file from Dolby and if the UHD722 received 6ch or two speakers were silent you KNEW the unit is not reading the lossless BED tracks but the DD 5.1 lossy fallback stream.

Good news, the 8k Cinema Dune contains the HDFury VROOM chipset with two inputs and two outputs. This means we can piggyback an ATV and a Console on this modern HDMI switch/player.
