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)
