Hello, first of all I want to thank the Kodi developers for all the great work you do. Big Kudos to you!

Now I would like to ask for some advice on a new media player which suit my needs. I currently have the Firestick 4K (great device but I cannot get HD Audio Passthrough with Bluray rips, specifically 7.1 Atmos) and also the Mi Box S with Android 9 (terrible about passtrhough, just PCM no matter what lol). I have a 4K LG TV and an Onkyo TX-NR545 receiver with Atmos Support.

So my needs are:

- Play my ripped DVDs with PCM/DD/MP3 or whatever sound it has (audio passthrough to the receiver)
- 4K playback with HDR (streaming apps and rips).
- Play Bluray rips with HD Audio Passthrough (with the Firestick I can get Atmos from Netflix addon at Kodi and from Prime Video app without problems). However I cannot get the HD Audio from rips. This is possible with a Lenovo NUC I have, which passes the audio flawlessly with VLC)
- Streaming apps certified if possible (Netflix, Prime and maybe Disney+)
- Gigabit ethernet is desirable, however I can stream 50GB MKV files without too much problem with Kodi.
- USB 3.0 port if possible
- If this can be done with Android TV SO, it would be great but not a must

I know that the Nvidia Shield ticks most if not all of these boxes, but I want to know if there are more options in a budget for my needs. I really appreciate your advice and time to respond. Thanks for the attention
