Recently I got a used 49" 4k LG TV to replace my old one (40" Samsung FHD).
I was using for years a Raspberry Pi2 for Kodi (mostly) because I could use it for some coding too..
The issue here is that RPi cannot be used for 4k content, so I'm stuck with FHD.
For sound output I use a Sony soundbar (https://www.sony.com/electronics/sound-bars/ht-rt3). For now I use the following connection:
RPi -> (HDMI) -> TV -> (Optical) -> Soundbar
Since now, I haven't tested if I get the 5.1 output of the soundbar for sure, maybe, maybe not. But anyway, I want to change the RPi.
The reason I'm here is that I need some help from the experts to find a TVBox to deliver 4k content on TV and 5.1 sound on soundbar.
So the needed capabilities good enough for 4k and surround sound (optical port) 5.1 DTS etc. I use ethernet for network mostly (close to the router).
I don't think I will use it for gaming, so thats an optional feature..
I've seen some for a reference. All of them are below 100 euro price range. And I would like to stay close to that price.
Beelink GS1 6k
H96 Max H2 or H96 Pro Plus
Tanix TX9 Pro
Mecool M8S Pro
Tanix TX8 Max
R-TV Box S10
*And some with RK3399 chip (don't know if its better or not).
Thanks in advance !

Teo
