There is no reason for Amazon to bring this to the Fire TV Sticks.

Well because a number of users demand it? And it’s absolutely no problem technical wise for the stick.

Where do they demand it from Amazon? Is there some official discussion or vote or whatever? And yes, likely no technical issue - but AFAIK even Passthrough needs license fees to be paid. Which might be to much for such a cheap device.

It gets mentioned for example often in Amazon reviews of the AFTV stick.

Did a quick search for FireTV 4k Max reviews. Only one on amazon.com mentioned TrueHD and it was only mentioned in one on amazon.de . So not really a big demand - if Amazon developers would even read reviews. I think you / they / we need to find other ways to show Amazon that it is in demand.

Plex app version? Has the cube updated to 9.14 yet?

Cube to TV, to soundbar, etc? And what makes/models?
