Tx3 Max is only RM 136.81 according to one seller in Lazada.
Is this capability tied to player, in this case Kodi ? Likely cannot get that if using other players.
Those who have the necessary audio hardware can just buy it and research and tell us.
glad that u asked!
see, when it comes to boxes, 90% users go for video, not audio.
me, i need the audio part.. i find it strange why anyone wud want 4k, hdr, dv, etc... yet aac2.0 audio?!
even dd/dts5.1 does no justice... u gotta watch big videos with big audio, at least ddtruehd or dtshdma.
if not, better stick with 1080p or 720p.
i can tell u it is HARD to find boxes that can pass thru lossless audio.
there are only a handful that can do it; most boxes can't, can only do lossy dd/dts.
the ones that can do lossless audio go back a decade - ac ryan, himedia can do this, yes, 8-10 yr old boxes from them can, and still do.
which means today's box makers don't see a need for HD lossless audio capability, sees video as lot more impt.
u know this beelink gt-king at rm450... can't do lossless audio, no use to me.
player.. only a handful of box makers have their own native player, and if they do, typically offer all of it... incl dtsx, dd atmos.
incl himedia, egreat, zidoo.
others typically have a shitty native player or count on kodi, mx, vlc.
some do a better job than others, e.g. shieldtv, minix using (customized) kodi.
the rest... some ok, some not... touch n go.
as for tanix, i do not like what tx3 mini can do with full bluray playback - alto it can do dtshdma/ddtruehd, the video is jerky, no good.
i am hoping tx3 MAX will do better... hesitant to buy at rm140, but will take the risk if closer to rm100, give it a try.
tx5 max at rm240 is overall excellent... all files incl biggest bluray play smoothly BUT... alas, only dd/dts... this is my frustration.
if only some box maker using s905x2 or s922x can give me what i am looking for for <rm400!!
this box continues to elude me...
