Looks like the non-pro is back

I just ordered that as I have some amazon courtesy credits and the coupon which brought it down to ~$140 with no tax in MT. Still might swap for the pro if there's a better deal to come within return window, as I could see running a plex server on that being handy. But with the amazon 5% cash back visa it'd be hard another retailed to beat I think.
In either case, I am pretty excited to check this thing out.
Not the first I've heard the nvidia shield mentioned.
I've seen there's 2 models for it, the regular one and the pro. How can I be certain that the model I buy is a pro, aside from it literally saying that in the name?
The reason I ask is because I see two similar listings on Amazon for Nvidia shields. One blatantly says its a pro, the other does not. The price difference is $10, and they show different remotes.
$189 listing - which, weirdly enough, links to a "newer model" which I've never seen before and is even cheaper
TV's won't output multichannel lossless audio, only compressed audio codecs or stereo PCM. You need an external device for multichannel lossless audio. The Shield TV, tube or pro, is the only Android TV device that will output multichannel lossless audio. The Fire TV Cube 3rd Gen or a custom CoreELEC box are other options that will also do this. The CoreELEC box is the cheapest solution but requires some research and know-how on your part.
