So I've been searching through these forums for a while now and I've started to have some ideas of what I need, but I still have a few questions:
- Is there no ARM platform (like Raspberry PI) that can run OpenELEC & co. and bitstreams DTS-HD with proper 23.976 output?
- Can HD bitstreaming and 23.976 output only be achieved with Windows or is it possible with Linux (Ubuntu, OpenELEC, etc.)?
- What is the minimum hardware for achieving my needs above:
- i3-3220 with it's IGP + mITX
- Celeron G550 + mITX + NVIDIA GT 610
- Celeron G550 + mITX + NVIDIA GT 620/630 (see bellow)
- i3-3220 with it's IGP + mITX
- I've been reading that NVIDIA has really set the bar with video decoding capabilities but the 610 still has some issue with deinterlacing and it's recommended to use at least the GT 620 (if not 630 to be sure). Is this true?
- Is ATI still relevant as a HTPC solution? Should I consider the Vision APU's or stick with one of the configs above?
- Which variant will be the least power hungry?
