For some reason, I thought the Turtle Beach USB sound card wouldn't work with the RPi2. But I found a post where someone said it was. If I can get analog and optical out of the Turtle Beach, then I think the Nexus is going back and I'm buying an RPi2.
EDIT: Oof. An RPi2 with case, power, SD card and the Turtle Beach USB sound card is $90. I feel like I should have just gotten an nVidia Shield on Monday.
EDIT2: lol and Shield TV can't do Netflix in 5.1 through the Turtle Beach. (Don't think the Nexus can either.) If I want a Shield, I'll have to find some other way to justify the price because "better Netflix than the Fire" isn't really one of them. Or more likely: just keep using the Fire at home and my old netbook for portability/compatibility.
