The way this reads is it only for BluRays. Has anyone heard if this is going to be available to 3rd parties / streaming?
Bitstreaming passthrough is coming for Blu-rays.
In 2016, Microsoft made serious inroads into an arena that is very important to me, 4K, HDR, and Ultra HD Blu-rays. The Xbox One S (reviewed here) has been one of the most important home theater debuts this year, but like its predecessor, the Xbox One, it has had one glaring omission: no audio bitstreaming, which in turn meant no Dolby Atmos or DTS:X.
Today, both Xbox One S and Xbox One owners can look forward to this situation being corrected.
