Device that supports DoVi 8.1, Atmos TrueHD, DTS:X MA, and Accurate Gamma/Colors
#1
Is there a device available that supports Dolby Vision (just Profile 8.1 support is fine), Atmos TrueHD, DTS:X MA, and also has accurate picture quality (gamma and color)? 

I've tried many devices but never found one that does all these things aside from the Dune HD Real Vision 4K with Realtek 1619DR, but Kodi unfortunately doesn't support it. 

I'm willing to build a custom PC for this if required. 

Thank you!

im guessing youre wanting an all in one solution but im not aware of one

im leveraging three plus a jellyfin media server

FireTV Cube Gen3 with a workaround build here https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=371883 gets me nice everything with audio passthrough on most everything including atmos but doesnt really like VC1

FireTV Cube Gen3 with Jellyfin client, using exoplayer backend gets me dolby vision and atmos passthrough but has downsides for other formats

CoreElec on a generic android box puts everything together except dolby vision but gives me tone mapping to make my older movies look more hdr-like

i havent tested dts:x specifically on anything, not sure which of my movies has it but it popped up on my avr once when using coreelec

so for the time being i just switch between whichever and use the native jellyfin client when it's a DV movie

the good thing is i can connect the generic android box to the hdmi input of the firetv cube and control it over cec from the firetv remote and its about as simple as if i opened another app

Second this suggestion on Fire Cube 3. It isn't perfect, but what is?!

On the Cube, there is supposed to be a firmware bug relating to the high quality audio formats.

Yes, I'm looking for an all-in-one solution that's easy enough for my family to use. 
Until then, the closest thing I've found is my Apple TV running Infuse (unfortunately without Atmos TrueHD or DTS:X MA though) and my Dune RT1619DR devices. 
The Dune RT1619DR devices are the only device that supports everything I throw at it with accuracy, but it's frustrating having it be completely disconnected from Plex/Kodi. 
It would be amazing if someone could develop a modern/maintained version of Kodi that runs on RT1619DR devices or if OSMC would finally get around to releasing a Vero 4K++ that is DoVi P8.1 capable.

A PC will never do DolbyVision as none of the Video card manufacturers license dolbyvision. the best you could get with PC is  HDR10 or HDR10+
If you want DolbyVision and Kodi you have to stick to Android devices such as Shield, Cube, etc.
This is an upcoming one, may be worth a look
