Is N2+ a big upgrade over N2? I can see its 20-30% faster but is that noticeable?
Also is Hardkernel the only company selling the new S922X which runs at higher speeds, or is it now standard and comes in other Android box based on S922X too?

My N2+ arrived few days ago. Installed CoreELEC on it and it runs well, much better than my old WeTek Hub. I can even reuse my WeTek remote on it. Just the remote power button can only turn N2 off, not on. A bit inconvenient. Also, some of my videos with ass subtitle still cannot play smoothly. I guess it's libass not working well with the CPU on board, 2.4GHz should be more than enough to render some karaoke effect.

eMMC is faster. In regular use, microSD is fast enough for me. The box is in standby mode all the idle time so the bootup time is basically irrelevant to me.

Hi! I started looking for a new media player, to upgrade from my ancient Dune HD, and saw that "ODROID N2+ CoreELEC Edition" is mentioned in the other megathread as "the best plug-n-play device". I've been reading through a lot of info on this forum, but, being a newbie, feeling quite overwhelmed and would appreciate some guidance from local experts. :)
I'm going to use N2+ for playing 4K HDR videos stored on my NAS (via its SMB/NFS network share) using wired connection, and I don't need internet streaming services. So "CoreELEC Edition" with just Kodi inside looks like something for me. However, it seems it's not really a plug-n-play device I can buy and use right away, but still a somewhat DIY project, where I have to buy separate parts (N2+, case, power supply, memory), flash CoreELEC OS myself, etc. Did I get it right?
