“All-New Amazon Fire TV Cube” - will it play Amazon Music Atmos content through AVR?

[sbrom]

For release Oct 25, Amazon’s ”All-New Fire TV Cube”.

It’d be great to have an alternative to Apple Music/Apple TV for streaming Dolby Atmos music to a home theater system. I’m wondering if this new Fire device will support the use case with Amazon’s Music Unlimited service.

Support for Atmos is discussed, but not explicitly for Music Unlimited….

Not related to Amazon but AppleTV and Apple Music apps coming to Windows PCs soon:

Maybe another way to get Atmos music without buying an Apple TV box.

I won't hold my breath, but that is indeed potentially big news, since Windows, unlike MacOS, will already natively pass Atmos to an AVR over HDMI. Regardless, a well designed Apple Music app for Windows would be most welcome, so that we no longer need "be subjected to the horrors of iTunes for Windows," as the writer puts it!
