I also noticed that it's DD+ and not DD like the rest of the apps

Yes I see the difference, universal Android version:

It transcodes to ac3 and not eac3. That is why the sound on SONOS is better with ATV.

Agreed, I can tell the difference between the two apps on my Samsung soundbar too. 

One of the advantages of EAC3 is that it's supposed to sound better than AC3 at the same low bitrates, I just never noticed before because I have no need for reencoding audio.

I have Shield TV Pro so the audio specs are better:

And ATV should really say it's converting TrueHD to eac3 in SFN, not direct playing

That is what is confusing to me the fact that it is transcoding the audio in ATV it shows Direct Play. I am still waiting for confirmation from the Emby team about this.

What is SFN?

Stats for Nerds.  Click the settings wheel on the OSD and you should see it.  Both apps have it and they both have a hotkey to turn it on and off also without having to bring up the OSD.

It just overlays a little box on top of the movie and gives details of how your video and sound are playing.

I have 2 SONOS Playbar with different hardware firmware:

Sonos Living Room: 1.9.1.11-2.2

Sonos Bedroom: 1.9.1.10-2.0

I have recently updated the firmware so it is updated.
