So its basically flawless now? Have you tried playing super high bitrate files with it?

Brinis: Where did you order it from?

And what kind of filetypes have you tested it with?

I got it from geek. I have been using all the movies I can and the all play good. It's the 8gb I have but I have the 16gb on the way to now for my bedroom. I know it's only the wifi that is different on it. The one I have now I use on wifi

I get mine this week can't wait to test it.

Thanks for the info.
This sounds promising, love to see more tests. maybe with some vidz?

I'll do a video. Also check out some cool tech on YouTube he has a good review of this box.

Anyone have any ideas when they will release the Minix NEO X8s?

My rep told me mid go end of May they should have them in.

What about pricing (NEO X8s)?

Yes but what 802 chip will have inside? We need the one with hardware DD support

Note that XBMC doesn't support h/w accelerated audio codecs, which are very much pointless with such powerful CPU's anyway...

Amlogic chipset overview, a few I didn't even know existed

S802 series is the one folks have already gotten their hands on.

S812 series is same CPU/GPU as S802 but adds 4K H.265/HEVC video decoding support and gigabit ethernet.

S805 series is a lower budget unit, Cortex A5 quad core CPU, still supports H.265 video but limited to 1080p output.

Why not just use pass through audio
