Hello
Has anyone done a direct comparison between Kodi on the new Cube and Coreelec on the Odroid-N2? Which one is snappier when using heavier skins?

loving the cube! Runs so much faster than my Sony android TV. I just wish Alexa voice control worked in kodi, but that's Amazon being Amazon...

DD+, DTS, AC3 work with Leia, but have sync issues.
DTS-HD HR with nightly or my firetv builds. Those are in sync as well. These changes were too intrusive for backport cause the old amlogic hacks stand in the way. Those were already removed in nightly, though dropping support for 3+ year old broken FW devices ... we don't do for Leia, cause of the whining that will start heavily.
Another good example of workarounds for broken firmware making trouble for new ones.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

I don't recommend the shitty version for any device as it might harm your hearing.
The most modern cube will work with fritschfiretv just fine, I also only recommend that over standard Leia cause it fixes some issues cause of legacy hacks for old and broken firmwares in Leia itself that we already dropped in matrix. The current cube has a nice and well working firmware. Besides TrueHD everything works.
If you have a device that is cripled, e.g. no dts support whatever you need to workaround this broken FW with the shitty version, on your own risk.

Make sure to check the possibility to switch between Android RAW and IEC Raw of kodi which that version includes.
For the old version of the cube I don't know think you can be too lucky cause its firmware is quite shitty.
