Picture quality is my prime interest, his little brother Solo 4K (same chip) was compared with a Pioneer 450 (2012) and the solo 4K presents superior PQ see link.

But of course, we will have to properly test it with discs like Spears and Munsil 2 like you did....

And this whole internal DAC built in a media player doesn't make any sense to me, I must be in the minority because of i here a lot of talk about it.

I'm sure they've already got those players well underway by now. (just as everyone else is probably moving to HDMI 2.1

Avoid Samsung, it has Cinavia on USB/DLNA. And like all Samsung devices, planned obsolescence at it's best/worst.
How annoying is when we to watch a movie after dinner, and the dam thing is rebooting or having a major update... HTPC is not my cup of Tea....and im not english
Quote:Some of Kodi developers are really dedicated to this project, and that makes it a better product than the competition.
Kodi is also very popular because its free, good playing engine and have a fancy jukebox that works 99,9% scanning libraries.
VLC is also popular and its also free but misses the Jukebox...How popular VLC would be with some similar Kodi Jukebox ?
Some people are willing to give up some PQ and struggle for capable player just for the jukebox convenience and easy to use...and HTPCs dont really fit in easy-to-use concept IMHO...

As we're in the thread titled "Kodi Media Player Options with MVC/frame-packed 3D & HD Audio" I wonder: Is the info on the first page wrong that the only option to get MVC 3D + HD Audio passthrough is a windows HTPC? Is there some way to get MVC 3D + HD Audio passthrough with a HTPC running Linux?
