Well hell, my N2plus arrived today. Glad someone else spotted the usbpower bug before I started it up!
Looking forward to the 4K tv arriving now. On back order.

If you bought in Europe/UK from a European/UK retailer you may be better covered.what is the purpose of usbpower option in boot.ini ?
See HERE (click)
This is the Primary reason why developer boards are sent out to various parties to pick up such issues.
The usbpower option has been removed (click) from boot.ini anyway with the Release Candidate - CE v9.2.4 - so there is NO chance of N2+ users causing damage.

Is it to prevent some usb devices turning off?
You can use this setting to enable 5v power on the USB ports when entering suspend or power off,
# 0=off/1=on
# This setting will require a injected bl301 blob.

Not sure if it's worth it just for CoreELEC use though, whether the performance improvements would be noticeable.Not sure if it's worth the money, as there is not much work for CPU in CE, and performance increase is not so huge.

I realized that my Denon X1000 avr doesn't do 4k and HDR/DV passtrough, which is a big shame, as I like this avr a lot. And I don't really use it a lot.
What do you think, how can I get at least DD/DD+ and DTS sound in 5.1? Maybe using the tv's optical out to AVR? Should I set the N2 to PCM 5.1 to decode DD and DTS and maybe the tv will pass this over to avr over optical?

It can be one option. Although, not easy to find a reasonable priced splitter that supports HDR+ and Dolby Vision.
I am fine with optical if that would work.

This is really promising!
So I can have full everything for N2 to TV (like it was connected directly) and on Hdmi2 from splitter to AVR and enjoy DTS, TrueHD, DD+ etc. Sound really great.
Is HDMI-CEC (passtrough) also working?
And the harder part will be to get one in EU (although I see it is available on Amazon UK).
