today i'm using an old NUC i3 with ubuntu supporting only full HD and struggling with passthrough sound.
Finally what is the best choice in 2021 for:
- KODI latest version
- all video formats 4k, HDR10, ...
- all latest audio format atmos, TrueHD, ...
- purely and solely dedicated to play local HD/4K videos from NAS server & streaming services: AMAZON, NETFLIX & DISNEY
- connected to latest EMOTIVA XMC2 pre-amplifier able to support all audio/video formats
based on the first page, I've shortlisted the ODROID N2 and the NVIDIA SHIELD 2019 PRO.
Am I right? which one to choose?
Is there any other one to look at? should I wait few weeks for a potential new shield/Odroid/? very promising?
Go for the Shield. I just got one and I am very happy. Atmos work with Prime, Netflix and Disney+, and audio passthrough works flawlessly in all the apps I have tested (Kodi, Plex and VLC)
Yes but I barely look Youtube HDR content. The only device I know with HDR support at Youtube is the Firestick. My Android TV also does not support HDR at Youtube. However, for all the rest is perfect. Maybe the other thing which bothers me is that Shield has no automatic frame rate switching...
