    Hello to all,

    Sorry if my english is weird, I'm not very good with the language of Shakespeare.

    First of all I want to say that LibreElec is really a wonderful project and that it gives me a lot of satisfaction with my little Raspberry Pi 3B+.

    I can play MKV videos encoded in H264, DTS, DTS-HD sound, etc. without any problem. Amazing what you can do with a very small card!

    Here I am asking myself questions to make my system more reliable because I want to be able to play 4K videos always with a high definition sound with a great Hifi system. The raspberry is unable to do so unfortunately...

    So I have the idea to buy a pc and transform it into a home cinema pc with LibreElec as OS. I don't need HDR.

    Just 4K (H264 and H265) and the best possible Audio standards.

    I have located different pc such as :

    HP prodesk 600 g2 : i5 6500t - 8go ram and SSD 120go

    Dell OPTIPLEX 390 : Intel i3-2100 - 4GB ram and 300GB HDD

    Could you tell me if a PC of this range could correspond to my needs? I have a budget of about 100$.

    A lot of PCs nowadays only have DisplayPort sockets, is it inconvenient to put an HDMI adapter on it to keep getting DTS, Atmos, etc.?

    Thanks in advance

    Have a nice day

    Benoit
