With a good card there is not much difference in performance and no difference in functionality.
No sleep mode, you can turn it off or leave it on.

hi pelician i try already
hi have the same tv box like u have 3gb h96 pro +
but i didn't succeed LibreELEC 8.0 for S912
I have'n got the same box, mine H96 Pro (without +)
If it doesn't work with flash drive try with an sd card.
I'm sure one of them will work. -
Try another usb port. Oly one works.

That's awesome DTS-HD MA passthrough is working for you! I've tried absolutely every setting and combination of settings and just can not get it to passthrough to my avr
BD passthrough is flawless so my hdmi and avr are fine. could you possibly post a screenshot of your audio settings or walk me through any special tips? Regular dts, the passthrough works fine, just not with hd audio.. However, using PCM sound IS playing on my surround speakers, something spmc or any other media center isn't able to do, it's always just pcm stereo. So if I'm hearing surround sound in pcm, and the movie is showing dts-hd ma audio, I should be good to go, ya? Or is it a trick? 
Why don't you write your settings?
The most important:

Can you confirm that DTS/DTS-HD Passthrough is working?It's working since the first release.

One last piece of the puzzle is the DVB drivers. I installed tvheadend 4.2 but no adapters were detected. My S912 box is a KIII Pro with an Availink AVL6862TA S2/T2 combo (same as K1 Plus). I know there is a K1 Plus ELEC build by Alex with the firmware out there but I dont know which is the correct firmware to add to this build to make it work. Any tips appreciated. Thanks
Check the other thread for your box.

Open your box and examine the PCB, you will see a (most probably) unpopulated 4 pin connector on it.
Solder a standard 4 pin (2.54 mm pitch) [url=https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10pcs-40-Pin-1x40-Single-Row-Male-2-54-Breakable-Pin-Header-Connector-Strip-for-Arduino/32764517972.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.39.oFK3eC&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_2_10065_10068_10136_10137_10060_10138_10062_10141_10056_10055_10054_122_10059_10099_10103_10102_10096_10144_10052_10053_10142_10107_10050_10143_10051_10526_10529_10084_10083_10119_10080_10082_10081_10110_10111_10112_10113_10114_10037_10517_10078_10079_10077_10073_10070_10122_10123_10120_10124-10054_10110_10037_10077,searchweb201603_1,afswitch_1_afChannel,ppcSwitch_4,single_sort_0_default&btsid=c1f3160d-51e5-473a-beb6-99782a9178b2&algo_expid=ed31d6af-ff2c-4683-9f1b-aabd498babac-4&algo_pvid=ed31d6af-ff2c-4683-9f1b-aabd498babac]connector[/url] to there.
If you lucky it has some text with the pin functions (GND, Tx, Rx, 3.3V) if not, usually one is square the others are round shaped.
The Square is the Gnd.

Amlogic Nougat kernel code is now public so I tried to use it for my LE builds but unfortunately it had some ugly bugs and you'd had to update your device trees so I though I can try porting the most important changes to our current kernel.A result of this is a new build with Frankenstein kernel to test in OP: 8.0.1b. Please report any regressions in video playback that you observe (known bugs are known!). It's always safe to "update" to 8.0.1a if 8.0.1b does not work well for you, you won't loose your data.
Thank you!
VP9 plays well now! -
Wrong thread sorry.
-
For me the hevc videos are OK up to 55-60 Mbps.
For comparison the same jellyfish test files are OK up 250 Mbps on my S905X box. -
Pelican Both videos play fine here. As I understand you both guys have devices with 3GB RAM? As far as I can tell there is a bug in kernel code that breaks H.265 and VP9 decoding on 3GB devices (mine is with 2GB). The bug is fixed in latest Amlogic kernel but the update has some serious bugs and I'm (slowly) working to fix them.Thank you for the answer.
Is it possible to use our boxes as 2GB devices? I don't care if I can't use the third GB...
I tried to start LE with the 2g dtb but stuck at android boot logo... -
I have only one VP9 sample - "The Curvature of Earth" in 4K downloaded from YouTube - and it plays 100% fine here.
You mean this: The Curvature of Earth 4K 60FPS - YouTube?
I've downloaded the VP9 stream but cannot play. It doesn't go to the video screen it stays on the file list and the file name turns green and that's it.
I've also downloaded the h264 stream from this link and it plays well.
Could you check these from Samples:
MEGA
MEGA
I checked about 20 other VP9 videos (2160p and 1080p) and none of them working.
As I see Foolproof has problem with playing VP9 videos too. -
Raspberry Pi play this files perfectly.
Really?
For me even the Raspi 3 cannot play VC1 video out of the box.
I need to buy the codec support from Raspbery.org. -
Installed on SD card.
1- Boot from SD Card
2- Do installtointernal and reboot
3- Reboot from Kodi on SD Card a second time
4- Do installtointernal a second time
5- Reboot device from Kodi again and remove SD Card before the rebootThe first time some files are not copied to the box and I don't know why.
It will delete the android system.
He stated to install to SD card not to nand. -
Have you installed it to nand?

When the device is decompressing the audio, it is limited to 96khz (as kszaq suggests) due to restrictions in the onboard DAC. When you passthrough the DTS-MA track, the device does not touch the original bitstream and your amplifier decodes the audio at the full 192khz.
Maybe I get it wrong but how the DAC (Digital-Analog Converter) involved in this process? -
You understood it right.
The DTS-HD MA data is "bitstreamed" to your avr without any processing by kodi. If the hardware allows for the data format, it will work. From your 5.1 flac file, multichannel PCM data needs to be created by kodi and sent through hdmi by the kodi using the kernel driver. This mode is limited to 96kHz on S905X.So, is it a sofware limit?
-
S905X is (currently) limited to 96kHz due to on-chip DAC, S905 can output up to 192kHz.I would like to ask you to help to understand my experiences.
My S905X player (M8S II) behave like this:
If I play (as music) the 5.1 24bit 192 kHz flac file then my AVR says 96 kHz Multi-channel PCM.
If I play (as video) the mkv contains 5.1 24 bit 192 kHz DTS HD MA audio track then my AVR says 192 kHz DTS HD MA.
So the limit seems apply only to the LPCM and not for DTS HD MA.
Could you help me interpret this result? Is this really a hardware limit? If it is then how the DTS HD MA can deliver 192 kHz to my AVR?
Thank you for your answer.
The sample files downloadable from here: DTS-HDMA 24-192kHz 5.1 test (45sec).7z - Google Drive
(On the S912 both plays as 192 kHz)
