Evening all, sorry to jump into the end of a long thread, but seen the buyers guide at the start and still not entirely sure which machine best suits me...
I don't want android at all... my tv is only 1080p at the moment, until it dies I won't be changing it... I'll be watching iptv and streams from my home server.... (all via ethernet)
I was thinking vero4k or a odroid c2?
With either you recommend the minix a2 lite keyboard remote too?
Kind regards
Tom

The Vero 4K will do virtually everything you want to do today and when you get a 4K display in the future, with excellent support from the OSMC team. OSMC is superior to any of the Android KODI boxes. You'll spend a little bit more up front but it should save you future headaches, let alone time and money. IMHO.
My Theater: JVC X790R + Peerless PRG-UNV | 120" CineWhite UHD-B Screen | KODI Omega + PreShow Experience | mpv | madVR RTX 2070S | Panasonic UB420 | Denon X3600H @ 5.2.4 | 4 x ADX Maximus w/ Dayton Audio SA230 | 3 x Totem Tribe LCR + Mission M30 Surrounds + SVS PC2000 + Monolith 15 | 40" HDTV w/ MeLE N5105 + MoviePosterApp | 40TB Win10 SMB Server over Gigabit Ethernet

Dear All,
First of all, sorry for my bad english.
I want to buy a device to play some movies & music.
I have an old TV (KDL-40S2000) that maximum resolution is 1080i and a old Audio Home Cinema (DAV-DZ700FW) with only Dolby Digital and DTS supports.
For audio, I need and ouput Spidif (optical or digital) with passtrought support.
My first device is Xiaomi mi box tv 3s when I read:https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=275083&pid=2446197#pid2446197
5.1 / 7.1 AC3 / DD+ / Dolby Atmos/TrueHD, DTS:X/HD-Master Audio passthrough confirmed working with Kodi Krypton
I do the correct if I buy this gadget?
The next option, MINIX U1, its doubling the price...
Thanks in advance!

I'm considering the Vero 4K box but am wondering if anyone can confirm if Tidal only works on Android boxes
The main use for the box will be to play video files off a flash drive that I'll connect directly to the box. The only add-on I really want to use is Tidal to stream music and, hopefully, if it's possible, video. And that's where my question comes in
As Vero 4K runs OSMC instead of Android I was wondering if anyone can confirm that Tidal works on it
Thank you
