Needs:
Can passthrough 7.1 audio consistently to my receiver via HDMI.(this seems to be such a failure for many boxes to do)
Playback 4k content
Can playback H265 10 bit
Has 1000m ethernet
Has at least two usb ports
I don't want to have to mod the thing (ELEC, etc.) and spin the wheel of "brick or no-brick" custom firmwares, etc.
Just want to be able to plug it in, launch Kodi or SPMC, access my NAS and stream my blu-ray backups that are encoded with 7.1 audio (both DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD).
On the cheap end this looked promising but it doesn't do H265 10bit or passthrough 7.1.
7.1 audio has existed for years but it sure seems like it's failed to be a standard of these boxes while the boxes all now have moved to support 4k.
Any recommendations to consider other than the Nvidia would be much appreciated.
