Any cheap boxes worth looking at with Amazon prime? Noticed an X96 with s905x3 but the reviews aren't great.

In the USA you should be looking at the Verizon Stream TV or the AirTV Mini if you want S905Y2 chipset - budget, snappy Android TV with paid for copy protected streaming Apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime.

I think the Google Certified - Mecool KM9 and KM3 can do Android TV - Amazon Prime.
The App might need sideloading- not sure.
Those can also dual boot and run CoreELEC Kodi.

Why are you not simply buying an often dirt cheap Amazon FireTV Stick 4K ?
It's guaranteed Prime will run better on that vs anything else. Kodi will be fine on it as well.

Ah my bad. I should have clarified. I meant prime shipping. Wanted something to play with that wouldn't take a month. Have an X2 cube on the way but was thinking about something else also.

I would like a box to be able to dual boot with coreelec and have analog audio out to use it for music with an amp.

That's why I went with the X2. Seems like most of the stuff that ships from Amazon is no name with bad support. Seems like a good idea to but something that has some rom support on freaktab.

I probably just need to be patient and wait for the overseas shipping. Is there a preference between AliExpress, geekbuying and gearbest? I'm in the states.
