Best consolidated solution for Kodi (w hd audio passthrough) and Netflix / Amazon 5.1
#1
Hi everyone.

Sorry for the question. I have spent ages reading the various threads. I have learnt alot but still am not sure if what I am looking for exists. I am looking for one box to do the following :

Kodi with hd audio passthrough 
Netflix / Amazon 5.1+

This is all 1080p non HDR (at the moment).

Currently I use a intel nuc for Kodi and Roku for amazon / Netflix. I wonder if there is anyway to combine the two? It works ok but I don't like having to wait for the nuc to boot up etc. 

Failing that I did wonder if it was possible to connect a fire TV stick to an android box but I can't see this being possible (e.g via an HDMI in). 

I'd really appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks

There is a 2017 4K HDR Amazon Fire TV Gen 3 that will be released in 9 days time for $69.99, no idea how good or bad it will be.

Let me throw a box in the pile.

Xiaomi Mi Box 3 (Global/International version) running Android TV and voice search(new feature in Kodi 18)

Works with Kodi, Smart IPTV, Netflix and Youtube - Not sure about Amazon Prime - Some say it can run outside, but Kodi 18 should support it with addons.

Important! : Different version of Xiaomi Mi Box 3 out there (Don't buy the Android 6 edition!)
