Hi,
I want to buy an Android (TV) box on-a-budget (up to 40-50 USD), mostly for Kodi (and Moonlight Streaming). I don't care about HD/4k Netflix, Google certs etc.
There are a lot of Android boxes out there, but most of them have something called 'AV port' (probably to plug it into non-HDMI screens). Now, the question: can I plug my 3,5mm headphone jack into that port and get good quality stereo sound? (btw I'm not interested in any kind of HDMI/jack splitters).
I currently own a Mi Box (I think it's the 3rd gen, not the 'curvy' one), and I can plug my headphones directly into the box (which is what I want from my new device). However, Mi Box sucks, because there is no Ethernet port (and I want 1Gbps), no SD card slot, only 8GB eMMC, no USB3.0... and that's why I wanna upgrade. The ability to plug in the headphones directly into the box (not into TV, bluetooth headphones are no-go as well) is absolutely crucial for me. If said port doesn't produce stereo sound over 3,5mm headphone jack, then I'm doomed to use Mi Box for all eternity
I'm probably gonna buy this one: HK1BOX 4GB 64GB 8K Amlogic S905X3 (I don't wanna post any links, because I'm not sure if it's allowed, but if you Google it, you will find a very colorful/blue-ish Android box). Anybody here has it? Is it any good?
PS I really didn't know where to ask (some sellers I contacted didn't reply) and since Kodi community is rather huge, I figured I'll try here
PS2 I 'clearly state' that English is my 'second language' (as required per Forum rules)
