Hoping this will be perfect for hires multichannel music (both audio-only and HD video concerts). I've been using a NUC which is great, no issues, but hoping to find a decent low-cost Kodi player for others in the surround music community.
You should get DTS-HD MA/HRA and Dolby True HD bitstreamed, along with DTS and DD legacy SPDIF quality formats. You will also get PCM 2.0.
Any multichannel audio that can't be bitstreamed (FLAC, AAC, PCM/WAV etc.) will either be folded-down to PCM 2.0 or can be transcoded to lossy DD. At the moment there is no PCM 5.1/7.1 output (the missing, and final, piece of the jigsaw required for the C2 to match x86 boxes like the Chromebox. It has been implemented in Android on the Wetek Core - so it is likely that the AMLogic hardware supports it, we are just waiting for driver/implementation.
