After buying a Yamaha YSP-2500 soundbar, then going on a mission to re-rip a lot of my MKVs with TrueHD / DTS-HD audio, I've just realised my Acer Revo RL70 doesn't even support HD audio! (only DD/DTS are selectable in Kodi's advanced settings)
What is a decent box to replace it with? It's only to run OpenELEC/Kodi and stream my MKVs from NAS.
Keep reading about the Intel NUC but £250 is perhaps more than I wanted to spend given the unit's usage of solely playing MKV.
Bonus Question: is it even worth the upgrade, will I notice a marked difference in the HD audio on a mid-range soundbar? Presumably my existing setup will decode HD audio in to standard DTS/DD5.1?
