Hi all,

I have gone through a couple of pages and here's my concern for someone who can assist on giving me some advise. I currently own a NexBox A5 and seems to be pretty 'decent' so far. I plan to use it as a secondary player for my room and get a good player that supports Dolby / Surround Sound as I have newly gone into the home theatre world and spoilt myself with a 5.1 set up. I also have a 65" 4K TV.

From the reading I have done here, the best would be HiMedia Q10 Pro or the Minix U9-H (please correct me if I am wrong). I love watching movies and would now like to fully utilise my surround set up. I have used KODI before, but I am not sure if I am using it properly as it is pretty complicated and I find it very tedious and difficult to use. I have since started watching my shows on apps like MovieHD etc which is very convenient.

To get a proper surround, I've started downloading 40-50GB BluRay DTS/Master to maximize my experience. Hence the player I get should be able to support these files and play flawlessly.

I do not have any subscription TV at home and have a NetFlix subscription along with my Android Box. Netflix does not support true surround, so I am hoping for some guidance from you guys.

Hope someone can help and give me some advise. I am leaning towards the Q10 Pro due to the HDD slot availability and plan to download my favourite movies in full bluray and transfer them for keeps on the player.

Hope someone can advise me, and perhaps also tell me if I am utilising the player as I should? A lot of folks seem to be ditching subscriptions and watching live TV on KODI etc, is it easy? Seems very complicated to me despite going through many many posts and youtube videos.


Thanks guys.

Hi Mate,

So I went to Digital Mall yesterday and ended up with a Zidoo X10. My 5.1 set up is new it has 4k passthru, and supports dtshdma / dtlpl2 (Denon AVR-2313)

My TV is 65" 4k HDR TV - Yes Netflix is available in the smart feature.

I use kodi but find it slow, prefer using the apps these days.

I have bought a new HDD and inserted into the box. My issue now is i have no clue how to transfer content from my pc to it. (noob at network etc and have been trying for hrs
