How was it better than an AppleTV playing ripped Blu-rays? With Infuse on the AppleTV I've been able to play every rip I have (4K HDR movies, dozens of TV episodes).
The Apple TV doesn't support DV profile 7 (you just get the HDR base layer; you lose the enhancement layer), nor does it support TrueHD Atmos (you get the bed channels but lose height channels). Same for DTS:X.
Whether or not this matters or you notice will depend on the specific Blu-ray and whether you have a Dolby Atmos capable sound system.
