i Could be wrong but amazon hardware struggles with high bit rate files. The new cube might be different.

I had an 2016 Stick that I have sent back. I got regularily lags when playing FHD files no matter what I did, but from NAS to PC it was possible, so no Network problem.
If that´s still not fixed it would be a shame.

What are high-bitrates for you?

Then what else Streamer would be recommended?

Anything over 25 GB for a day two hour movie struggles but I guess it depends on how it’s encoded as well. Personally I am not too tech savvy when it comes to encoding, but common sense states over wifi, you won’t obviously get the same speeds as a GBit network. Having said that I have a usb ethernet adapter on my firestick (the ugreen one) and it still struggles.

For recommendations, you can see the wonderful thread by wrxtasy on the recommended hardware for your needs. Beefy processor and gigabit Ethernet devices such as Nvidia Shield, Apple TV, and others such as the new odroid N2, etc are a good choice.
