TrueHD audio tracks transcoded to OPUS instead of FLAC on iPad

Since updating the app to the new Plex Experience that was pushed yesterday, TrueHD audio tracks are transcoded to OPUS instead of FLAC on iPad. Before this update, TrueHD was correctly transcoded to FLAC.

It’s resulting in a much quieter and noticeably worse audio quality. Is there a way to have TrueHD tracks transcoded to FLAC like before?

I would love if someone could comment on this. Is it a bug? Is it new intended behavior? If so, why?

This issue is one of the reasons why I can’t really use the iOS app. I have a lot of movies with TrueHD tracks, and the new behavior of transcoding them to OPUS really results in a much quieter and noticeably worse audio quality compared to when the tracks were transcoded to FLAC.
