I mean are they decent players (in Kodi) - like a media box?

I am thinking of buying a Sony KD XG8096, its an Android TV and Kodi can be installed... Do those players passthough HD audio? are they playing back fine 24p content (using kodi ofc)... 

Thank you

Unless your TV has eARC you aren't going to be able to output HD Audio so passthrough isn't possible.  Not sure how many current Sony models have eARC.

Accepted wisdom is that XF and XG series have quite underpowered SoCs running Android TV - and I'm not sure they frame rate switch (so that's a non-starter for European users who want 25/50 for European content and 23.976/24 for movies and US TV drama/comedy)
