That being said, the x800 Mk2 is a good choice as well. Only thing is, if you want you want to stream media over the network, then you need to have a media server running somewhere else (or on your NAS if it supports all file formats). Or you need a drive directly connected via USB. This is the case, at least with the original x800.

Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
I’m very interested! That’s OK if no 4K video. I’d use a separate AVR input anyway, distinct from the 4K BR player and video streamer.
Thanks. Yes my NAS has Twonkymedia and other media servers. That’s part of the DLNA system with my Oppo acting as DLNA player/renderer.
I'd say, give it a try.
Does Twonky etc. work with DSD/multichannel formats ?
Yes, Twonkymedia and Minimserver both support multichannel DSD and FLAC. The actual decoding in my case is within the Oppo 103.
Liking this! One question: do you use a wireless keyboard to run things? My seat is in the middle of the room, and the PC would be installed next to other audio/video equipment.
I don't have the system, but I have a laptop on my AV shelves...and I use a wireless keyboard. Works flawlessly.
That's what I use. a Logitech 400+ wireless. Works great.
OK, I pulled the trigger on the mini PC. Can’t wait to try this baby!
Thanks for the recommendation!
You wont believe how much PC you got for the price you paid. Get a keyboard and you're in business. I even bought a USB mic for it and run REW with it.
REW, I hadn’t even thought of that! I have the calibrated USB mic already. Logitech kbd is also coming. Can’t wait to load up Kodi and start listening.
There’s a free Kodi remote control for iOS once you’re up an running. (Personally I hate having a keyboard involved in my listening room)

While you're waiting for your new mini PC take a look at the first post here. You can check you have your music organised ready for Kodi:

Thanks Garry. I’ll review the thread to see what changes I’ll need relative to my previous tagging and directory structure. I’m sure there’s room for improvement.

Looking good!
I just found my Minix A2 Lite remote works for Kodi on my Microsoft Surface Pro (Win10) PC. So it will work for your mini PC.

Once you are up and running with Kodi and using the Aeon Nox: Silvo skin you can fully customise the menu including adding music nodes with filters.
This is my Aeon Nox: Silvo music menu (see the 'Atmos Music' and 'Quad Music' sub-menus below the main 'Music' menu. It I click on 'Quad' I see a list of all by Quad albums. On 'Atmos' I see a list of Atmos albums etc. You can also create Playlist to do similar.
(On the menu there is an automated Artst slideshow cycling through random artist photos, you can tell Aeon Nox Silvo to do this in its menu setup
To get the two Atmos/Quad menu nodes to filter the album content I have added either '(Atmos)' or '(Quad)' to the album folder names: Example folder name:
Wish You Were Here (Quad)

You are probably going to want either Foobar or Jriver as well for all those SACDs. I personally use a mini keyboard. I also have direct access to foobar from a phone app.

That mini-pc is quite reasonable. I may have to order one too. Are there any that do 4K yet? Also, is this mini-pc only available used and is it the best bang for the buck? I can use the HDMI output on my OLED display, as needed.Similar threads
