While the interface of the Onn and the CCwGTV are similar, there's clearly more under the hood with either hardware and/or software for AAC support. Knowing this, I decided to jump on the 6 month Netflix with CCwGTV for $90 deal...picked up 3 more.

It's the little things that often separate the generic or off-brand devices from the better supported devices. Of course, most people can just try to force multi channel AAC using the Kodi workaround another poster mentioned earlier, but how many people will know how to troubleshoot that if they were to get this. It's just another time wasting effort that is not necessary out of the box with better devices. For most people the minor bugs or issues won't affect them, but for those who actually have higher end A/V equipment and are more discerning, they won't like having issues like this.
Just for curiosities sake, I will test out the Onn again with the A/V receiver again with Plex to see if it still has the AAC problem with the latest update. Perhaps it's something that got resolved with the latest Onn update. Or maybe it's an issue with the Plex app directly, in which case I'd still say getting the CCwGTV would be best because that would mean Plex has better support for that device, which is likely the case. I'm actually leaning towards the latter because another person here said the issue is present with Plex and VLC on the Tivo 4K Streamer, which is resolved using Kodi. There might be some hardware thing these app developers aren't taking into account with these development build "Chromecasts" and it's causing an issue with AAC playback.

That's what I have set it to. Onn stays white for a long time. I see it as red if it has not been used for a long time.
