a. This player supports Dolby Atmos but not DTS-X, but how does it handle DTS-X audio from 4K and standard blu-ray titles (Jason Bourne, Atomic Blonde, etc.)? Does it simply downconvert it to DTS-HD MA?

b. In the absence of an onboard DTS-X decoder, can this player send the DTS-X signal to a capable AV receiver (Onkyo TX-NR676) and reproduce DTS-X in a 5.1.2 speaker setup?

Does anybody have a firsthand experience on this?

DTS:X should play fine as long as your receiver supports it. Normally the only thing a Blu-ray player really needs at all is bitstream support for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, AV receivers usually handle the Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding for you.
