There are alternatives that are actually superior to Shield in almost every way now. For example, the Homatics Box R 4k Plus / Dune HD / Nokia 8010 / RockTek G2 devices.

You said "if in another room in your house, the plex server will be running in background on the shield pro to stream to another TV at the same time as well."
You need a client on that tv in that other room, right? How is the video getting to the tv in the other room? And that client in the other room has to be an Nvidia shield pro to get the lossless audio from the plex server, regardless of what kind of server (PC, etc), right?
I guess my question is must you have an Nvidia shield pro as the plex server (say sitting on a shelf in your office) to get lossless audio on the client (which must also be a shield pro) in you living room?
My other question is why would someone want a shield pro vs a pc they they already have that can remotely transcode with no issues?
One of the main reasons I bought this is for gamestream but they silently removed it so they could force people to use geforce now. Fortunately sunshine / moonshine works pretty good as a replacement.
If anyone has a better recommendation to direct steam PLEX to my TV for cheap and not taking up too much space in the cabinet below my TV, I'm all ears. But for now, I'm a fan and have had good success.
Worth noting: HULU app has been frustrating on this, but I'm able to stream/cast from my phone to Shield easily without issues.

If it weren't for those advantages, I'd get recommend ATV over this any day (and I'm not even in an Apple ecosystem like that). But the upscaling and high end media support makes us at their mercy for media snobs like me haha
Dunno if i would pay $170 for this....seems way too much for this tech but it is a very convenient way to get a plex server among other features it has.
