I've gone ahead and purchased an Nvidia Shield 16GB. It's now setup connected to Yamaha RX673 Amp and LG lg 49uf850v 4K 3D TV. I've installed the SPMC app and added sources for Movies / TV etc linking to an unraid server. I've only ran some initial test but everything plays great, 4K X265 files with DTS-HD play without issues and the amp is showing the DTS-HD coming through. The 3D seemed to work ok although I haven't properly tested this, just stuck a 3D movie on and hit the 3D setting on the TV, but seemed to work.

I'm just wondering if there is a way to have SPMC auto launch when I start the Shield up so I can control with the iPad rather than having to get the joypad to initially get onto SPMC?

I saw this but not sure how you would do this on the Shield:

To do so, create a file name xbmc_env.properties (if not existing) in the root of your external storage (normally, "/sdcard"). Add:

xbmc.autostart=yes
