START HERE - Pick the Right Kodi Box (updated Dec 2020)

Everything nowadays seems Android based so any suggestions for a non-Android box that will run the Kodi GUI smoothly? My only requirements are simple and all LAN based (no streaming); HD playback (HEVC would be nice), HD audio passthru, optical output as well ideally, playback of 3D SBS files (not ISOs). I've used an old ASROCK ION330 for many years and it finally died so happy to replace with another PC based box.

Price isn't that important if it's going to last, I just want something that works and if it works well with Krypton even better? Am I better off waiting for Kaby Lake based stuff to drop in price a bit, something like the Cubi 2/Beebox/BRIX or is that complete overkill?

Hello Shinyandy,
I know it s not the place, but as mentioned earlier in the thread I'm moving away from my chromebox, even tho I'm really satisfied of it.
It can play everything perfectly (no 3D ISO but your said you do not need it) and I have a USB dongle for SPDIF that works just fine with it.
I actually even have a Denon amp that goes with it Wink
It has EU power plug
I would make a nice price for it, you can private message me if interested
