Purely in terms of 3d picture quality and depth, can anyone compare zidoo x9s with pi3? Already have the latter, but need a second machine...
I had both. While I felt that 3d depth was better on 9xs there is one substantial difference between them regarding HD-audio that you might not be aware of: Pi3 cant do passthrough but instead decodes to lossless 7.1 LPCM while 9xs can do passthrough ( also Atmos/X) but only decodes to max. 2.0 lossless LPCM or lossy dts core. Depending on your setup this might make a difference, it did for me since I needed the decoding to LPCM 7.1. So had to go with Pi3...
