This first thing I'd want to check is the codec/decoders/etc available with InFuse Pro (notice I said Pro, which is a small cost) vs Zappiti. And any limitations on the AppleTV.

For me, I have too have a fairly high end audio set up, though only 5.1, with 4k...  I'm using AppleTV/Plex/Infuse because of the costs and ease to distribute throughout the house, etc...

Decoding should be on a pre-amp, so if formats are supported, they should sound very similar between Infuse and Zappi.

 

 

Thank you for introducing me to infuse, I love it and it it works perfect!!  Plays 3D and all my 4K flawless! Saw some pretty bad review of Zappiti on playback.  I have dune and the playback need some work as well, has pause issues when the disc is playlist garbaled.  Infuse just works, no pausing issues, minimal cost and I actually like the interface, love how it groups like titles,  don't need C4 integration as I have good luck with the Appltv IP driver. The only thing I don't like is I have to switch the AppleTv to 1080P before I play 3D movies.

So with Zappiti, does Zappiti scan your library and build the cover art, metadata, etc...?

I’ve been meaning to buy one, just been bogged down with other projects. If so, that’s another “feather in its cap” and solves a completely different pain point.

That is correct.  It auto scans on schedule or you can trigger a manual scan from their onscreen UI.

their onscreen UI has movie / tv show cover art, background art along with background music from the movie / tv show.

Pretty impressive actually.  The driver only uses the movie / tv show cover art due to limitations in Control4.
