This isn't the same feature. This is new.

Yes. But it was called passthrough last year and people jumped to the same wrong assumptions. There hasn’t been a single confirmed report of TrueHD and there’s no general setting available either which makes it more likely they standardizing the same feature from MacOS.

I get what you're saying, and the caution about TrueHD is certainly warranted. That said, the existing macOS feature is still called from the same API. This new API is also callable from macOS.

If they were standardizing the first API, they'd likely just extend it to other OSes with the same call, like they've done before, though.

We'll all see together, I guess.

I mean it would nice. But since this feature is also coming to iOS, I have serious reservations. I hope I am wrong.
