Edit. Found it. Was using too big of a toothpick to make it click.

LibreELEC-S905X-gxl_p212_2g.zip
This is based on the 2016-10-03-devel version.
All I have done is included the dtb.img. Without it HD audio won't work and gives the crackling sound. I have also replaced the Nexbox boot image with the default Amlogic S905X boot image.
To install just flash with TWRP.
This should work with:- Tanix TX5 Pro
- MINIM8SII
- Nexbox A5
- Nexbox A95x
- COOLEME MB1

Guys why don't you try first the SD Card way and then decide what works and what doesn't ?
This way your box will remain unaffected and you can test what you want.
(And if you have a fast Class 10 microSD card, there is no real need to install LibreElec on the box's NAND).
Note: only 1 USB port is able to boot the box. You have to try them all. Some boxes are unable to boot from USB drive.- Look at the beginning of this post and find Downloads link. Download file with img.gz extension.
- Burn the downloaded file to SD card or USB drive using Rufus. Alternatively you can use LE tool but remember that you have to download the image manually: http://wiki.libreelec.tv/index.php?title=Installation
- After this you will see that drive capacity is 512MB. This is OK as there is a second (hidden) partition on the drive for LE user data!
- Download a device tree, rename it to dtb.img and copy it to main folder of SD card/USB drive - replace the one that's already there.
- To boot the system for the first time you have to use one of the following:
- toothpick method: disconnect the power supply, insert card/drive, push reset button and connect the power while holding the button. Wait until LibreELEC logo appears and release the button.
- menu button method (works with very few devices): disconnect the power supply, insert card/drive, push menu button on your remote control and connect the power while holding the button. Wait until LibreELEC logo appears and release the button.
- recovery method: boot into Android, insert card/thumb drive and choose Reboot to recovery. Your box should boot into LibreELEC.
- recovery method (2nd variant): if you have "Update" app pre-installed open it, insert SD card with LE/connect USB drive, and choose any ZIP file in the app for update. Your box should reboot to LE.
- recovery method (3rd variant): if your box is rooted, use terminal emulator app and execute reboot update command
- recovery method (4th variant): enable ADB (Google it) and issue adb reboot update command
