I would like to run hi-res audio directly to my AVR without any HDMI splitter.I'm not aware of any mainstream ARM platforms that run Kodi that do this, ony x86 PC-style solutions which can have multiple HDMI or HDMI+Displayport outputs (that could be externally converted to HDMI). There may be non-Kodi media players with dual HDMI outputs for this purpose - but they are niche and may well be buggy with little support once you've purchased.
I know you have said you don't want a splitter but there are HD Fury splitter devices designed specifically for this task (that will split a single HDMI 2.0 output into an HDMI 2.0 UHD video feed and an HDMI 1.4 HD audio feed), though they aren't ultra low-cost solutions. There are other solutions that promise similar functionality on eBay/Amazon but I have no experience with them. (My experience with HD Fury support has been excellent - and they provide frequent software upgrades with feature updates)
