Default AppleTV/Blu-Ray - Consumer Atmos/DD51/DTS integration in mixing environment

Just wondering what are the solutions available for integrating an AppleTV or Blu-Ray in a mixing room, for reference viewing or other customer needs?
More specifically, given an Atmos Home Entertainment mixing setup (Mac RMU, Dante IO), is it even possible to route Atmos/DD51/DTS out of the AppleTV into the room speakers?

I've been wondering the same thing for some time and the solution I kept coming back to is using a receiver with XLR preamp outs to send to my MultiMax EX. Not the cheapest but the most direct. Finding one that has Atmos preamp outs may be a little more challenging and pricey. There is a thread here recently where a user was trying to do this with a MTRX. Consumer electronics can be a bit of a hurdle when interfacing digital signals with pro gear.

Thanks for the quick response, I admittedly missed the thread you mentioned in my previous search, so apologies for having created a new thread...I simply could have continued the conversation over there.
@mod, feel free to adjust if necessary thanks!
I will investigate further and get back here if I have any success with this challenge.

I have a Q-Sys running my b-chain. The MTRX runs dante into it. Then I get the Apple TV in using a Marantz decoder with XLR out and into analog cards in the Q-Sys.
