Yes some improvements in audio quality I noticed yesterday. Felt sorrunds are more immersive, coordinating well with front stage.

Is there any difference in audio quality between netflix standard plan(1080) and 4K plan. I am using standard plan should i upgrade to 4K just for the audio?

I don't think there will be any difference in Audio Quality, the audio stream is anyway hardly any data as compared to Video.
Probably using a better quality streamer may improvise Audio Quality

I had no clue that Netflix 5.1 was only at 192kbps. either it was quite well optimized or my ears, (never golden) have moved from bronze to tin!

640kbps is quite good, better than DVD DD bitrates.

edit: just saw how old the original post is...

I notice a chalk and cheese difference between watching Netflix streamed by my TV and Apple TV. Both video and audio. So agree totally with Ankit

Apple is much better but I think it may be because I watch it from my Apple TV and not a fire stick
