Hi All,
I'm Andrea from Italy.
Would you, please, suggest me a good box/platform to run Kodi with bit perfect audio output?
Windows, Raspberry, Openelec, Liibreelec...doesn't matter I'm not very young so an out-of-the-box solution would be preferable
Main use: play 2 channels FLAC backups of my CD collection. The box will be connected to an external DAC via USB or SPDIF.
I would use the Kodi station also for video/film viewing so it should support great 1080p decoding and multichannel audio passthough for AV receiver connection.
I had already run a lot of tests on a cheap MX Plus s905 Android box without success. First of all Android does sample rate conversion to 48KHz and this invalidates the first pre-requisite: bit perfect audio output.
Then Kodi has some passthrough issues on s905. Same issues with SMPC. No luck with Android
Ideas? A Windows mini PC? Raspberry? .....?
Thanks in advance!
