I will not advise anyone to purchase the Kaby Lake hardware.
Issues
Windows
3D MVC playback
HDR not supported in Kodi unless you want to buy PowerDVD17
Linux
User can't seems to get HD Audio working
This was a very promised hardware but Intel failed to deliver.
Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i agree would not buy one again, and Powerdvd is full of bugs cannot use any graphics driver other than WDDM 2.1 branch or you get no audio in HDR modea nd does not switch to 24p for me am stuck at 60hz and no help from intel or cyberlink so completely worthless box for me

Do you happen to have some WDDM 2.1 drivers?

Just wanted to say I tried latest Leia Milhouse build on my NUC7i5BNK and Atmos/TrueHD & DTS HDMA/X all bitstreamed correctly to my Onkyo TX-NR646 receiver without issue.
Great job guys, the NUC is actually a full usable platform now with hardware HEVC4K playback and bitstreamed positional audio.

The latest nuc actually is pretty worthless atm as nothing resolves the flickering issues reported by more than 200 users on Intel forums.
4K @ 60hz on that platform is not 100% working.

@GrimGreifer
Would that happen to include HDR passthrough as well?

Wonder if we'll see improvements/fixes/better support for these features in Coffee Lake generation cpus? I too was going to be picking up the Zotac CI547 on black Friday and use Windows 10...but, perhaps I'll wait.

Doesn't Coffee Lake include HDMI 2.0 output from the CPU (rather than HDMI 1.4) - and thus remove the need for DP 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 conversion externally?
