What's the best box to buy to get an excellent Dolby sound and a smooth 4K images?

I would like to use LibreELEC Os that is a splendid operating system.. but i would like a hardware well supported and used at its best!

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

You want excellent sound and smooth 4k ?
My opinion:
1. You need "more power"
2. You need excellent AVR & loudspeakers

I spent a lot of time using this cheap chinese boxes bases on Amlogig chipset -> It´s a DYI system

Crosscheck:
s905x box vs. Kaby Lake Notebook
Playing problemfiles(banding, stuttering etc.) reported by other users
Then playing ripped UHD movies

Result:
What´s better than more power ?
Just "more power"

Display More

I got a Bose LifeStyle System and a Sony Bravia TV.. i just looking for a good Dolby passthrough device to get the right sound!

digital sound via HDMI is working good with every box.
4k video is the first problem, HDR the next problem

Best choice for me -> s905x box

s912 = experimental -> Minix U9-H

Don´t need HDR ?
Minix U1 based on s905 chip

Want Power ?
Intel NUC

Thanks for your analysis!

Not true.. i got a X96 and a T95Z Plus.. sound is 99% only PCM.. very rarely Dolby 2.0 and DTS 5.1 working!

WeTek Hub or WeTek Play2. Those are officially supported and you have dual boot LE and Android.

But the WeTek Hub 4K UHD got only 1GB RAM.. is it enough for Kodi @ LibreELEC?

Now the choice went to -> WeTek Hub 4K UHD

NUC is powerful but i don't have the space for it.. so i need a small device!

.. and reading your suggestions and other reviews.. this is the best compromise

Thanks!
