Does the Fire TV Stick 4K (with KODI) and the Vero have proper HDR->SDR conversion feature? 

I'm almost pretty sure that Amlogic + LE or CE can't do any HDR->SDR conversion, right? So this won't neither change for the new S922X chipest devices?

Not sure about the FireTV Stick 4K..

Any of the HDR capable AML S905X, S905D, S922, A311D chipset devices running any sort of OS can do HDR -> SDR mapping at the Linux Kernel level.

But color and brightness outputs will not be 100% correct, you really need specialist software, like MadVR and tailored display mapping as described in this https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2860458  
Back to this: I didn't seen actually the other options (like Zidoo), but the Q10 Pro can do a really good and almost seamless HDR->SDR conversion, it works fine and with decent PQ on my FHD TV. I turning back to my previous question, that will (can) it be any better with those new Amlogic chipsets with Core Elec anytime? Or is this such a hardware or Linux kerner limitation, that couldn't be acceptably resolved?

It might look seamless, but I suspect you have just struck it lucky with a device, that can map and that closely matches your distinct display's picture output capabilities.
Anything else, like cheap AMLogic will very likely have strange colors and brightness outputs due to using generic tone mapping.

You really need to use tailored tone maps that matches each distinct SDR display capabilities. Anything else is just guesswork.
