@iimitzMan,
Man stuff is expensive to import or buy in Canuck-land !
Is there a special "Moose" tax or something added once Hardware crosses the border ?

Hi everybody,
i beg your pardon if i'm posting my question in the wrong section...
I've made some search but i've not found any answer to my doubt so...
I'd like to try a Windows mini pc as a media player running mphc, with madvr (for 1080p Blu-Ray files),
after a calibration session with my i1 display pro colorimeter for adjusting at the best my new JVC-X7000 projector (it should arrive in the next days..)..
I've made some test an year ago using my Laptop (i7 16gb Ram 512 Gb Samsung SSD Lenovo T430) and it works fine
(the fan was almost every second in action...).. and i was really delighted by the imagine my old JVC-HD1 was able to put out..
So now i'd like to try again but with a more "stable" solution..
At the end the question is:
Has someone already tried to use some minipc mediaplayer (mphc, kodi..) vith madvr LUT ?
I'd like to test for example the new Minix Z83-4 (it's fanless and that's good for me..)
but before to spend other money i'd like to know if there is someone that have already tested this configuration..
Has the Minix Z83-4 enough power to manage kodi + Madvr (Input 1080p output 1080p just using LUT table)?
Thank you very much for the time you dedicate in helping me picking the right hardware...
Have a good evening.

So i'm looking to upgrade from my Raspberry Pi 2, currently running Xbian with Kodi.
My usage:
I'm almost exclusively streaming Full-HD movies and series from my Synology NAS, on gigabit ethernet. I only watch live-tv via kodi add-ons.
I do have a 4K tv (non-UHD sadly). I have a 5.1 setup with a A/V receiver capable of hdmi 2.0 etc. etc.
I don't mind getting my hands dirty, and learning a few things, but I'm looking for some more stability speed (as I have a large movie library), and 4K support.
What media player should I go for? Have been looking at the HiMedia Q10 Pro and the WeTek Hub. But any recommendations are highly appreciated.
