Wich device you would suggest ?
I need a Device wich runs Linux as OS.
Have enough Power to play h264 and h265 4k streams and where Steamlink works smooth.
HDR is nice to have but not important , Audio also not important.
I heard about the Vero4k+ and The Odroid N2 Coreelec.
What is the better choice?
Less heat (Passiv cooling), better Performance.
Are they any cheaper alternatives?
Not sure if you are asking about Kodi or just Linux - if it is just Linux, then cheap Intel hardware might be more appropriate.
For HDR Kodi:
Performance = ODROID N2
Passive Cooling = ODROID N2
Correct HDR Metadata passthru = ODROID N2.
Steamlink = That is not supported by (Linux) CoreELEC at all. You would need to Dual boot into Android using something like the Ugoos mentioned below, which will have good Android OS support from that company, which is really important if playing around in Android.
Other options for dual boot are the 4GB RAM - Mecool KM3/KM9's or use Petitboot on the ODROID N2 (eMMC flash module purchase needed).

A cheap CE Kodi Alternatives if you want to do some DIY: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2914929
Something like the well known Ugoos brand with their X2 Cube or AM6 will have quality internal hardware components vs the cheap Chinese stuff.
Work out what is most important.
