So it sounds like DTS-MA and Dolby TrueHD bitstreaming are still not working on windows 8.1? Ive seen the thread on intel forums, seems we are still waiting for MEI driver or some other thing to enable it. But openelec is OK proving the hardware in the baytrail NUC is capable.
What about windows 7 and bitstreaming HD audio, any success there?

It was just the info button and a few others were not working, but if it is all down to user error then I will hopefully get it sorted. I have just tried updating to the new Openelec but it still does not work on the old Hitachi so I will have to reinstall beta 2 first. Thanks for the info (and saving me a few pounds).

Thanks. One more thing, even it is offtopic
Let's suppose I want to play MKV file in 1080p and DTS-HD audiostream on this NUC. Is it possible to play it from some shared disc what runs in other PC (running W7, 6core, all on gigabit LAN)?
Which NAS will be enough for streaming this kind of bitrate without problems?

Hi all, I'm looking for a new HCTP solution to run XBMC. I've a ION 330HT Win7 (too fan noise!) and a raspberry (Internet browser missing). I want a flexible platform as the ION 300HT and silent as the raspberry. After thousands of post read, I'm focused on NUC DN2820FYKH, odroid U3 or Intel J1800/J1900. About NUC DN2820FYKH could someone confirm these points:
- With the proper Bios setting is very silent (no audible fan noise)
- XBMC manage 1080p with no drop frames (even with no Intel Quick Sync support)
No matter of OS, I can use everything suggested.
Someone have some info about J1800/J1900 xbmc support. I can't find any good thread to understand if xbmc manage 1080p videos with this architecture.
Many thanks in advance for any answeer.
Franco.

Thanks xbs08.
What is the difference in poweron time between SSD and regular HDD? Just wondering if is it worth to buy SSD and run all the content from shared disk on PC until buying NAS, or to have some content directly on NUC internal HDD (then I would go for 0,5TB or 1TB)...

Hi,
As many of you I'm interested on one cheap device to connect it to the TV.
When it comes to XBMC I would use it most of the time to connect it to my externals HD and play SD, 720p and 1080p movies, but also to watch Sopcast streams with a bitrate of 3000-4000kbps.
But I ocasionally (offtopic) I would use it also to browse youtube and few other websites. So my question is... NUC or Fire TV?
thanks in advance

FireTV has no external drive support at present, but you can use NAS. Also I don't know how Sopcast will work, is it via XBMC addon? On NUC you can pretty much do anything, its just a pc. Answer depends on your budget etc.
