I had no major issues with a Pipo X7 (very similar SoC) running Win 8.1 with Bing and my Onkyo amp (PCM 7.1 and DD/DD+/DTS bitstreamed), other than possibly the usual issues when you switch inputs.

Success! I was able to get it to work on receiver, despite what Intel said. For some strange reason, I had to cold boot my receiver first. Strange. I'll report back after I play around with it a bit more.

I just read in some user comments on a well known e-commerce site that starts with AMAZO, that this stick cannot support both wi-fi and bluetooth simultaneously. Don't know if that's true or not, it sounds suspect, but if someone can verify if that is true it may be useful info for potential buyers to consider.

That sounds like rubbish to me.

The bluetooth and ethernet are on the same chip from what I recall, so sustained throughput for both might be an issue.
