The nvidia shield is the best android device, but like all other android devices lacks full HD audio passthrough

The nVIDIA Shield already does lossless Multichannel PCM & HD Audio passthrough quite well in SPMC.
Koying already has an IEC passthrough option in SPMC too. I assume for Android Nougat readiness.

I was just quoting your first post
Good to know that a solution already exists to have full HD audio passthrough on the shield TV
On my actual setup aim it is way to expensive and overkill
Odroid C2 is a better deal
If I manage to sell my chromebox tho, I will definitely replace it by a shield tv (old or new gen)

You should have some kind of dynamic table/filter for this topic.
So people can mix their needs and see the boxes.
Would be a much shorter and simpler post and more efficient search.

Volunteers cleverer than me can do that and then spend time dynamically updating & maintaining it as well.

The updating and maintaining will be the hard, time consuming parts if such a thing is to stay relevant and have any use at all.

I have absolutely no clue on how to do this in a forum, except some kind of excel sheet
I do not think it would be that much more work to keep updated than the actual form
I would love to help you on both creating and updating
