DTS-HD Master Audio or Dolby TrueHD and you want passthrough

Can you elaborate on this please - what's passthrough and dts?

I have a shield - can I use it as a server, or is it just a client?

A shield is just a client, can't be used as a server AFAIK.

DTS is just a different set of audio formats/standards, originally popularized in theaters by the movie Jurassic Park.

DTS-HD Master Audio is their lossless audio format, meaning it decompresses out to being the exact same audio bit-for-bit as the mixer heard when they finalized the audio for the movie.

Likewise, Dolby TrueHD is also a lossless digital audio format, so it also decompresses to the exact same audio the mixer heard when mixing/mastering the movie.
