And worth adding Zidoo Z-series (Z9S & Z10):

• Kodi doesn't run natively, but Zidoo's fork ZDMC Leia & Krypton-based are both available
  
• ZDMC (Kodi fork) is mostly used a front-end to push media playback to external (native) media player app
  
• 4K HDR with Max CLL/FALL info passthrough
  
• HDR to SDR mapping
  
• Fully supports HD audio (including ATMOS & DTS:X) and LPCM
  
• Best player for full 3D + 4K support in one
  
• Deinterlacing for OTA TV has never been a strong performer on this platform
  
• Only SD quality Netflix, Amazon, etc.
  

 

Thx. added to post #1.

Questions:

1) Apart from the major additions - >> extra USB 3.0, SATA ports + MIMO WiFi, what extra do you get regarding the Z9S vs cheaper X9S ?

2) Is Firmware for Z9S compatible with X9S ?
(CPU & GPU look near identical)

3) Should I combine the two X9S & Z9S/Z10 postings on page #1 if 3D, 4K HDR & HD audio support & functionality is the same ?

Looks like Zidoo Firmware has matured nicely.   

Firmware is not compatible.
X9S = RTD1295
Z9S = RTD1296
The MaxFALL/CLL is only present on Z9S.
