hi,

i have been using minix u8h plus for several years now..mostly i just watch thru kodi and it works great at 1080p and dts or dd 5.1. Nevertheless, my avr can't decode files that have dd plus even when i see that my kodi displays the audio is dd plus. Few days ago, i opened a file thru file manager and picked video player to play instead..then i can see my avr is showing dd plus. i was bewildered.. i thought i cant play dd plus. It just that my kodi cant decode dd plus to my avr.

Since i'm mostly playing files offline (thru my HDD). i am thinking of changing to q10 pro (one device to play all formats) but wary of himedia since i am minix user. i will also be changing my avr so maybe q10 pro will cover everyhting?

tq for ur reply,

yes..my minix is abt 4 yrs old

my avr is onkyo tx-sr307...i think 6 or 7 yrs old..basic avr with dts and dd

most of my files are dts, dd 5.1 with average size of 9 Gb in accord with my avr specs

i uses kodi 16 to play all of them until lately after i discovered that the minix video player is capable to pass dd+ to my avr (kodi cant do that). Now, i only use minix video player to play all my files, but i dont like the "menu" on minix video player.

Minix has served me well, but i will be changing my avr to denon x4400h soon thus i will want to play files with 7.1 dtshdma, ddtruehd..so on

i think my most important criteria is strong native player. i dont actually use other apps..i even stopped stream anything from kodi

thank you for ur advice smile.gif

the sr307 can do only dd, dts... dd+ is touch n go.... but since u hv seen it doing, i suppose it can.
yr coming denon x4400h will open up a whole new world - 4k, hdr, atmos, dtsx, etc.
if yr tv is not 4k hdr, plan on it! biggrin.gif

older box players can't do as much as current ones - video and audio.
video - hevc, 10 bit, 4k, 60fps, hdr, chroma 444.
audio - already mentioned.

i have not use a minix before, can't comment.
Q10pro is probably among the best media players at this time:
.. plays almost all video formats... in my experience, it can't do only one uncommon format - hi10P sometimes found in japanese anime.
.. audio.. anything.. dts, dts, dd+, dtshdma, ddtruehd, ddatmos, dtsx.
.. it has its own superior native video player in a media center app (simple, nothing fanciful).
.. plays dvd folders, 1080p/2160p bdmv folders with full menu's (this is hard to find on other boxes).
.. auto framerate switching - auto changes to right framerate when a video is played... 24, 25, 30, 50, 60 fps.
.. has an internal hdd compartment for sata 3.5" hdd.

in summary, if yr avr and tv can do it, q10pro offers u a wonderful playback experience - video and audio.
u will probably start recollecting yr stuff, junk the old ones... like i did. biggrin.gif

i have used other boxes too... besides the video and audio capabilities, the diff is also seen in video and audio quality production and smoothness when playing.
cheap boxes tend to have judders, flashes, less colors, audio disconnects and even hang.

tq for ur advice..

planning to change avr and media player..and need those audio formats to work well. As for tv..4k is not yet in urgent need, plus not many sources for it.

thank you again good sir

Sorry bro, no more stock for Q10 Pro. We don’t plan to restock at the moment due to the model nearly three years.

no more q10 pro coming? is Himedia planning to announce replacement?
