If there were actual 2160p sources to play on it you might have a valid point, but there aren't. You can rip UHD BD. Netflix isn't going to provide UHD for those S905 boxes. So, you can't play a few UHD demo files or UHD/4k YouTube at full native res. Big whoop... Why sweat support of useless formats that no useable content is in?
So, something like a Shield which has UHD Netflix if your UHD TV doesn't, or an actual HTPC that has enough GPU to make good use of madVR very high quality algorithms for scaling up all your non UHD content are the only two options that make any sense to me if you're insistent on HDMI 2.0 UHD output.
