True and that was the past.. Not even the Dune HD Pro 4K Ultra is overly popular today.. Times be changing. Basically, what I meant is that, hardcore enthusiast aren't that into the media players of today as they still are into excellent PQ and audio equipment such as AVR, speakers and projector setup. They know to buy this first and only worry about the media player. Besides if they can afford high-end projectors and audio equipment, shelling out another 2K is negligible.
unless there is any new cheap tvbox with dual hdmi output, then only worth discussing about it among them

ppl changing new player nowadays because of
1) 4K HDR
2) Dolby Atmos / DTS-X
3) HEVC
hardcore enthusiast will just buy those jailbroken blu ray player.
peasant enthusiast will just buy any popular S912 chipset that is libre elec friendly to flash.
android tv box is good for online content streaming but the local media playback is "usable" but not perfect, still flaw here and there, affecting user experience.
for those people still in 1080p AVC codec era…even those ancient Realtek 1186/1185 or Sigma 8643 chipset media player still better than android tv box for blu ray remux playback.
