Anyone with an Intel NUC here and successfully managed to get HD-Audio to be passed through to their AV receivers? Did a bit of googling and the consensus is that it doesn't work if the NUC is running Windows?

Got a Minix Neo 8H recently but as we all know, that doesn't do HD audio which is a shame.

Thx in advance!

Sorry for not being completely clear..

I haven't exactly tried other player on the android devices..if anyone here can recommend some to try it out, that would be great.

However, that being said, I guess the main advantage of using XBMC is how "pretty" it is?

I have a few Dune players at home that can do HD-Audio streaming. I just wanted something that's easy and pretty.

Thanks again!

The mibox, for the lack of a better word, sucks. For hardware acceleration, u have to leave the "middle" option turned on. Even with that, only 20% of my mkv files play. The rest will just cause the mibox to reboot. If you turn off hardware acceleration, the movie stutters and the audio/video gets out of sync. Just for comparison sake, the same mkv files plays flawlessly without a hitch on the Minix Neo X8-H. Just looking at the mibox makes me wanna smash it against the wall.
