I can not confirm anything because I do not have intel kaby lake yet. I wrote that I want to build a new based on intel kaby lake. So I'm asking if this will work?

Otherwise when using Linux/LibreELEC - Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Audio has to be decoded to lossless Multichannel PCM for no loss in Audio quality.
NO HD Audio Passthrough when using LibreELEC on Apollo / Kaby Lake Intel Hardware that has the Display Port > HDMI 2.0 adapter.
Forget about Dolby Atmos and DTS:X all together with Linux/LibreELEC.
A dirt cheap $35 AMLogic S905X running LibreELEC Kodi can do a better job than what Intel Apollo / Kaby are currently offering for Linux users !

If you judge on HD-Audio output, this is true. But in general it's wrong. Lanczos3 Scaler available? Sync Playback to Display available? Multi-Channel PCM output fixed yet?

Lanczos3 Scaler available ? - No - never needed to use it due to reliable LE 1080p / 4K Auto resolution switching. Let the 4K TV upscale everything.
Plus personally stuff all 720p content these days anyway - no scaler is going to improve low bitrate 480/720p content.

As you can see at this point LibreELEC does not support NVIDIA and AMD, and for INTEL there is poor support. Are you able to recommend hardware that will work well and without problems and with LIVE TV?

What do you mean about no support for nVidia ? There may be issues around recent cards and drivers - but nVidia VDPAU support has historically been good in LibreElec in the generic builds (they stopped doing nVidia specific builds once it was possible to do a single build for Intel and nVidia). (The bigger issue is that nVidia don't currently support 10bit HEVC decode under Linux - but that's not a LibreElec-specific issue)

I was just about 10 bit hevc. Unfortunately there is no and will not support a pity
