Yep, wrxtasy has listed the disadvantages of the Raspberry Pi 3, which are the lack of Gbit LAN, H.265, 4K, HD-Audio etc. Personally, the 3D feature is something, which is less important than all the other things... I'd just like to see the compromise that it simply tells my TV that a 3D file is played, as the Kodi GUI goes into 3D, but the TV does not notice it, and this is like ugly to see on such a great Media Center plattform... looks like unfinished and unpolished diamond

NB - The Pi 3 (like some of the x86 platforms without HD Audio bitstreaming) DOES offer lossless HD Audio decoding and output of all but a handful of DTS HD MA and Dolby True HD discs (it can't handle 192kHz tracks with more than 4 channels - but they are vanishingly rare).

If you don't need Atmos or DTS:x (which it can't decode and output) you still get lossless decoded audio as 5.1 or 7.1 PCM for 48/96k content. You don't get bitstreaming/passthrough, but you do get lossless decode - which is functionally and qualitatively identical in many use cases.
