The general hardware specs look impressing, the current price is great.
However, what I am really missing currently, is the HD audio passthrough because my amplifier unfortunately produces noise when decoding PCM.
I think/believe that the other current issues with Kodi (4k problems) and overall issues (audio problem) might be fixed in the future by Amazon or the Kodi developers.
But is there anyone who could judge if the missing HD audio passthrough is a hardware limitation or if this is also a driver or Kodi "bug"? As PCM uses more bandwith and is working, I would not believe in a hardware bandwidth problem...
I ask because I want to invest in a kind of "future proof" device that does not need to be put in the trash after 12 months even if it is a cheap one... And yes, I know about the upcoming AV1 codec etc. ...
