I am struggling between the ODROID-N2 4GB CoreELEC Edition and the Vero 4K +
- I have a gigabit LAN NAS for movie and music storage
- I would like to play the best quality music through hdmi (flac 24/192)
- I currently own a 1080p projector, planning to upgrade to 4K in the near future, so I would like to play my movie rips in the best quality

The Vero looks much better and as far as I have read it is PnP right out of the box.
Can you please help which one is OK for me?

4K meaning HDR ?

There is one thing that is really important if you are going to be using a 4K HDR projector that has it's own auto Tone Mapping.
Yes Auto Tone Mapping projectors do make a difference for 4K HDR if fed correct data.

And that is MaxCLL/FALL HDR Infoframe data.
A bunch of info about that found in this https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2823690

Also you may want to pay close, particular attention to the Projector link in this https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2864863 and read about Vero 4K+ HDR usage with those display devices.

I will let you make up your own mind.

I read that the ODROID has stronger HW, but I do not know how much you have to tinker with it, also it doesnt look good Smile

ODROID N2 CoreELEC Edition = unpack from box, slide supplied microSDHC card into front slot, slide top cover on.
Plug in cables and power ON. Job done.
The CE OS will even auto update for you when there are new stable updates avail.

Also get a wireless MINIX A2 lite - Plug n Play remote, because it mini keyboard comes in real handy after long term Kodi usage for Kodi keyboard shortcuts and Kodi data entry. Batteries last 8+ months with the A2 lite for daily use. Smile
