If it's plugged in, and off,, just touch it ..
power controller leaves it warm and cozy.

Pass along your fw date too, just curious.
... May as well wait for Android 8 anyways,
Thou Mo sez it's full-time problematic too.

Hi Guys,

Some pictures of the A95x Max mobo.
There is some misinformation around port for attaching a fan inside the box for cooling.
I can confirm that the motherboard DOES NOT have a port for a internal cooling fan
Device stays cool, maximizing out around 65C playing 2160P 10-bit videos.


But by and large have been very happy with the device, I just had a problem with youtube, where the image become pixelated with green and random pixels at 1080p 60fps.
Also the screensaver triggers fine, my TV stays protected.
Root wswitch an dpower key definition is a big plus.
if you guys have a question will be happy to answer.
Hope superceleron gets his box soon and we can have more revelations.
(
Cheers,
Sid

was not really needed to delete , only small Info

[sidglide]

Good News,thanks+

Mine is still on the way! Hope delivered to me within next few days

For "Youtube" issue,I wonder but let me check when my box arrived

or this issue only 60fps?? or both 50/60?
which version YT? or does it Default YT? or did y installed another YT?
are y in US? or where

And asking you any power issue due to "Amper"?
I bought 3A PSU and my problem is gone(for ext.HDD support)
Tomorrow go to buy another PSU for 4A too

Bye++

Hey Berg,

The problem exists with both 50 & 60 fps. I installed the tablet version from the app store. I have used this version like forever in all my TV boxes
Hope you get you box soon. I travel quite a bit for work and this box goes with me.

Cheers,
Sid

I completely understand, but since this was in relation to the experience on the N6 Max.
And how i was forced to look elsewhere since this was not cutting it to me.
This lead to my purchase decision.

But i understand how can be confusing and since they dont have the entire picture(if they don't read it through), it can be misguiding.

Just Post your Images in the X95MAX thread....and Link to them to continue discussion in that thread...
Cross chatter as mentioned can get confusing

Hi all,

Haven't seen anyone complaining about the fact that this box doesn't have a SPDIF connection though the specs claim it has SPDIF support.
This is essential for me because my good old Onkyo receiver 804E has only HDMI 1.1 support so no digital sound support.

After several mails I got the following mail:

We are so sorry that it is coaxial connector now ,not SPDIF connector,
we changed the connector because many people can not buy the spdif cable
it will be easier for them to buy a RCA cable
We are so sorry for the mistake information mislead you
but coaxial connect can also play 5.1 DTS audio,
just the cable you use is different
You can buy a 3.0RCA Audio Cable to play it.

Probably you won't hear that much difference between an analog or digital connection but I went for SPDIF because my current Boxee Box works OK with that and my receiver.

Seems to me that you could claim that the box doesn't deliver as advertised \ promised.

I think will try to sell this box because I probably wont get my tax / vat back and buying a new receiver for this seems ridiculous.

Good luck guys with all other issues that I can't experience.at all...

Both optical and coaxial(RCA) connections are digital on SPDIF connectors. Adapters are available to bridge the two.
Otherwise, the same signal drives both , if you are handy with electronics, it might be possible to physically change the SPDIF connector on your box. Intermediate soldering skills would be required. Hope you get it working.

Welcome! So, your not having other issues? lol
Good! It's about time someone brings good news here.
I just route sound thru my pioneer TV to hi sensitivity speakers , zero complaints, awesome sound.
Can't you push audio the from the tv on to your amp for processing?

[FlyingDutchman]

RISCy Dude

They send me this picture of a cable that I should use.



As far as I know you have 2 kinds of SPDIF connectors, an optical and a coaxial version. Both have one connector on each side of the cable.
So you're saying that with this cable I'm getting the same "digital" quality as with a real SPDIF connector?

Perhaps I should give this option a try so I can enjoy the full potential of this "great" product you're all writing about.

[gefattern]

Hi , yes you are right there are two ways , try it and report , good luck / gefattern

[RISCy Dude]

I do not have this box. I assumed the box offered the coaxial SPDIF as opposed to the optical. The cable you show is for a 1/8" TRRS connector and that is most likely analog.. As you stated, coaxial SPDIF cable has a single RCA plug at both ends.
My comments on SPDIF were of a generic nature, not this box specifically. I have not seen an 1/8" TRRS connector that supports SPDIF, would be news to me..
I see Trebor has posted a cable that uses 1/8 plug for SPDIF. Learn something new everyday. :-)

The above shown cable looks very promising. Saw it on on GearBest so I will order one there.
Thanks for the tip. My cable supplier didn't seem to know that such a cable exists (nor did I).

I will let you all know if this cable works on my receiver..

[RISCy Dude]

Interesting, I also did not know SPDIF was available on some TRRS jacks. Good to know.

[ClarkKent]

So your receiver/ amp would have a single input, two channel stereo port?
The small pin shown carries L, R, and a ground for each?
Is a what I see

[RISCy Dude]

Generally a TRS(Tip, Ring, Sleeve) connector has three contacts, a left, right, and shared ground. The TRRS connector shown above has an extra ring. Often this type of cable is used for TV box analog A/V jacks, extra ring carries video. Evidently, the TRRS jack on this box carries a coaxial SPDIF connection. Was news to me.

The image posted was an example
I have looked closely at the receptacle on the N6 to confirm this is 100% accurate,
