Hi Raj,
I have a 7.1 channel setup with one of the best AVR in the world Anthem MRX (Most ppl don't even know about this brand) with Cambridge Audio Minx speakers. My main NAS has about 15 TB storage full of HD/Bluray/3D movies and English Dramas and is connected to the AVR. This easily play DTS-HDMA, TRUE-HD in 7.1 through my cinema screen TV.
My FireTV is also connected with same setup which i mostly use for Netflix, Amazon Instant Prime Video & Hulu or my kids use it also to watch local media from my NAS.
RPI 2 i recently bought to test and see what this can do... So far i can say i'm quite happy with the performance of RPI 2 and would happily recommend to anyone as far as HD-Audio is not a requirement.
I found OSMC the most stable on RPI-2 and that's what i'm using... I need to build another system for my bed room and i think RPI-2 will sure do the job
I have a 20MBPS Unify line and play online contents and IPTVs without any struggle.. this also could be that i have made changes in "Kodi" "advanced settings" file to buffer movie while playing and due to high speed network most of the time my play is fully buffered before even reaching half way.

BTW why you playing your Kodi in 2.0? do you only have 2 speakers connected with your Denon? RPI-2 can easily handle 5.1/7.1.... my current config is 7.1 on my RPI with Passthrough and i don't see any problem with it playing 5.1/7.1 in DTS/DD.

You are welcome result will be great trust me ... much better when your AVR will start delivering sound in 5.1... Do let me know how you find it.

I use IPTVxtra, the best repository i found for local TV channels, have list of all the local channels also channels from UK and Thailand etc... very good repository... local channels run like ruining on cable

Here you go, i have tried almost all channels work. https://seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-i...-repo-for-kodi/

Bro as much i don't want to get into any argument with anyone.. but frankly Cable Quality does make a difference in Sound & Visuals ... I have used many of the out of box cables for both Audio & Video and also expensive brands and even for speakers etc... These cables does make a difference. You can look for Monster, QED and few other such brands though if you do not have high quality media contents or a highend TV with bigger size may not make much difference and worth the extra $$$.

I have even made custom on-demand Audio/Video cables for my Home-theatre system in past so have first hand experience.

Just in case you don't know the list URL http://bit.ly/rizchannels

No bro no parity drive.... this is just media

Well bro you are right, i will lose data/movies and it's not difficult to implement but that would require me to have more HDDs for my 15TB data.... and as i said earlier these are just movies
Touch wood in last 6+ years i haven't lost a single disk and i hope this will continue be a record

Channels are of different quality, most of them are stated as SD & HD if it's not HD you can expect a poor quality.

Bro download simple client plug-in from http://www.bbtsip.tv/iptv-simple-client2.html download according to your OS, if you using RPI/RPI2 download the linux zip for Simple Client 1.
