Deckeda, that's an informed answer. Sounds like you've done some homework.
I've just upgraded our home's Home Theater set up, with a more advanced 2011 Yamaha Receiver and 5.1 surround upstairs in our living room, for our best sound, and in my office downstairs, our older (2007) Onkyo receiver, and 7.1 sound (I like collecting and testing speakers) and now that I have more reason to care about movie sound, I'm reexamining all my Apple TV Handbrake encodes.
I am grateful for Handbrake's presets and its handling of surround sound, preserving AC-3 Dolby, when present. And am paying attention to how to better encode movies in the future. Including boosting bitrates when appropriate. For movies with good sound design, and action movies. I love sound design in motion pictures, it's as interesting as and as fun as good cinematography.
