Based on that review, no HD audio. Doesn't mention whether he's getting framerate switching, and proper 23.976, etc. But, reading users' comments, looks like 'no' and 'no'.

The Xiaomi is only $69 for those people based in the USA by the time it hits other parts of the world it's more than that, No ethernet either pretty crappy. May turn out to be a great device for now it's pretty broken and crappy. Why recommed a broken device ? Thats hypocritical...you bash budget China devuces for having buggy broken broken android firmware, then reccomend another device which is just as broken ? Who's to say these issues will definitely get fixed ?? I would not buy a Xiaomi until at least the next firmware update to see if anything actually gets fixed or not.

Xiaomi products are good, Im a fan I own several Xiaomi products from headpohones to fitness trackers etc. At this point though th Mi Box is pretty broken, Xiaomi are also known to have a patchy and slow track history on firmware updates and OS upgrades when it come to android on their mobile phone range.
Hopefully they do fix these issues on the Mi Box, and a reliable USB to ethenet adaptor surfaces.. I will be keeping an eye on this one.. Currently showing as 90 GBP on a well know china selelr website with UK shipping... not in stock yet though..
At that price it's not worth my while, it would have to be spectacular. Maybe there will be a promotion on it soon..
