Hello everyone!
I am looking for a device to run Libreelec on, in either a dedicated mode or through dual boot, and it would need to play 4K flawlessly, pass-through any 5.1 surround stream to my receiver and have a 1000 Mb/s (GigE) Ethernet connection.
I have been browsing through this forum and other forums as well (like the Kodi forum) and I have been checking out loads of reviews from various Kodi boxes but I am a bit lost at this point.
I know that everybody is pretty happy with / excited about the ODROID C2 setups
but isn’t this particular system getting a bit outdated?
I think someone
mentioned a new Kodi version coming up in near future that is in need of faster
hardware than the 905* CPU?
I would like to buy a device which I will be able
to enjoy for a couple of years...
And while
the ODROID itself is not all that expensive, adding a case, power adapter, 8Gb
EMMC drive, Bluetooth module and a good air mouse will raise the price round
about 100 euro’s.
For less than that I could get a random brand 4K Kodi Android
box from China with the 912 CPU, like for example the pretty popular 92X, which
has good reviews and benchmarking by the way. These boxes include 2 or 3 Gb of
RAM, 16 or 32 Gb of storage and a remote control.
So, the big
question is: should I go for a ODROID C2 setup and is it future proof or should
I go for a 912 box, and if so, which ones do you prefer / think are the best
ones for a dual boot Libreelec setup
I would like to thank you all in advance for your thoughts on the matter!
Kind regards,
