I'm generally happy with X9S. Supports HDR w/my Epson 5040UB PJ, 3D of course, HD audio & does proper framerates. Doesn't do 1080p/4K switching, so letting it upscale eveything to 4K. ZDMC (Kodi) is an external player solution, but it's pretty seamless.
Recently tried a S912 box w/LibreELEC for 1080p/4K switching & pure Kodi, but given how finicky the Epson PJ is with HDR (only 24p / 4:2:2 / 12-bit BT2020 works), I couldn't get the box to send a compatible signal supporting 10/12bit (always got 8bit). I think the Epson actually converts 10bit into 12bit, or it shows "12bit" with anything 10bit.
4K compatibility is such as mess with box, OS, display, AVR, HDMI cable & app variables. All the stars need to align
