Hiya guys, I have a WDTV Live Media Streamer that's suddenly developed serious audio sync issues, I was looking to upgrade it soon anyways. I have a desktop PC upstairs with all my files on, and its wired to the downstairs network via cables. I used the WDTV Media Server to play files.
I settled on the Popcorn Hour A500, but recently started looking at the Dune Solo 4K, also the Himedia Q10. I am pretty noob when it comes to these boxes, so need some advice.
Requirements:
- Ability to play files from upstairs PC...mostly MKV - MP4
- Supports all the top Audio Formats, DTSX etc
- 4K Picture, HDR would be a nice as well (Native 4K would be awesome)
- No audio issues on file playback
- HDD not required
- Logitech Harmony Compatible
Whats the best player out there? Budget £300.
So far I have looked into:
Dune Solo 4K
Popcorn Hour A500
HiMedia Q10 Pro
