I will admit I tried to skim through this thread, but can't seem to find anything definite. At the moment 4K/HDR is not important to me. All I'm looking for as a requirement is passthrough audio to do HD audio/Atmos and 3D would be a plus. Is there any "easy" answer to this such as a nuc or something? Just feeling overwhelmed be options

How important is 1080p 3D that is the question ?
Because all these 3D media players apart from the RPi3 do not run standard versions of Kodi.
The Q5/10 and Zidoo X9S use Kodi for a graphic user front end interface to call on there own external media players and none of this is Plug N Play and user friendly compared to other much less complicated Kodi media players ?
Then you have the added complication of Firmware upgrades with Android - and that can really be a PITA - and cause all sort of headaches.
So the question is how important is 1080p 3D to you or do you just want a solid reasonably bug free HD Audio/Atmos Kodi media player ?

The HD audio is more important. I have a few 3D movies which would be nice to see as they are 3D/HD audio, but more looking at the audio since I want to upgrade from a RPi2
I re-read the first page and the Intel D34010WYK NUC seems reasonable on eBay. This might not be a "standard" version of Kodi, but will I be happy with this?
Thanks for the quick response!

The D34010WYK is a no brainer. As you can see in my sig, I do have one.
I started with a 2820 (if I remember the model right) but it wasn't cutting it.
Following Hdmkv and movie78 advice and I got one for fairly cheap on ebay.
Be aware that with the latest build, 3D movies including Atmos (and maybe TrueHD, not sure) have micro stutters. Very annoying when you notice them.
I hadn't watched 3D in a while but I recently watched a couple of movies and found that out. Could be an issue on my NUC only but I really doubt it.
Since I had some previous builds still on the NUC, I re-installed a build from December, I believe, and everything is now smooth. No more stuttering.
If you do go ahead with this NUC, I can get you the build I use but maybe you should try the latest and see if you have micro stutters...
Box 1: ODroid N2+ 4GB
Box 2: Intel NUC D34010WYK (Windows afedchin's Krypton MVC Build)
Box 3: Vero 4K

Hi,
I'm using Kodi MVC build on Windows 10 but I would like to know if Ubuntu 16.04 supports MVC with Kodi ?
Also, I would like to know if official Kodi supports 3D half SBS on Windows and Ubuntu ? With auto switch 3D.
Thank you !

Thank you !
So it is only possible to use 3D half SBS auto switch with Windows 10, RPi 2/3 and some other boxes ?

Don't quote me, but I think it works on various platfoms, but somewhat randomly. But don't be hung up on auto switching, it is not he be all and end all.
