Playing media files should be no problem. You are connecting to AVR?

Yes. Connected to a onkyo avr.

Ok please share what's your NUC specs and confirm whether it could handles DTS-HDMA, DDTrueHD or even DTS-X & DD ATmos

I was referring to the latest intel nuc 5th gen.

Specs as the link

intel nuc

Can this handle dts hdma and dd truehd?

All these links on this search sound not promising

https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrom...NUC%2C+DTS+HDMA

even on intel forum

https://communities.intel.com/message/221266

So instead of spending 1K + on NUC, we shall buy China cheap windows 8.1 mini PC then

Waddaya think?

Looks good. only missing is the network jack.

I think you were referring to the 4th gen intel nuc.

the link i shown is for the 5th gen intel nuc, after googling it seems they can support dts-ma and dolby trueHD.

now i just need to find money hehehe

If you have avr then does not matter it can support trueHD or DTS MA then avr will take care. Just make sure is pass through

Hi, looking to buy intel nuc-5i3ryh. Mainly for hd ripped / ISO bd movies and online streaming. Can anyone confirm this model can pass thru dts-ma and Dolby truehd? Will be running windows 7 or 8.

I recon software like kodi is best to play media files?

Googling doesn't help much on this model.

Thx

earlier i also had interest on the intel nuc 5i3ryh.

but the price is just too much (for me) to spend on a box. i think including rams and ssd about RM1.6k to Rm1.7k



Waiting for price to come down hehehee

Not sure if DTS-Ma and Dolby trueHD works. but it should work

Thanks for replying. Must use ssd? Does it works on conventional 2.5"? I have some extras lying around.

Agree the price is not competitive after adding other parts.

Is lowyat plaza a good place to try them out since will be there for KLIAV

Cheers

How about trying raspberry pi2

Yes, raspberry is in my list but I have not done much research on it yet. My curiosity got the better of me since I only came to know about Intel Haswell lately.

Plus my 6 year old desktop showing sign of dying.

from what i read on the internet, best you to get SSD, if not you will have lag using the interface.

I connect my PC via hdmi to my avr(yamaha aventage series). I used mpchc + madvr setting & LAV. My graphic card is nvidia 550ti. In LAV, I checked to bitstream all audio options. Let's say I play a video with 2 audio channel, then my avr will decode the audio to 5.1 channel. But I can just play the original audio in 2 channel too. Just pass thru(bitstream) the audio and play with your avr settings.
Hope this help.

just choose the surround mode in your avr example dolby pro logic,dts neo or others
