Aside from the support for analog audio expansions, I don't see this offering much over similar high end Android media players like the NVIDIA Shield.

I do see that it supports HDR10+ which is a bit more rare, but you don't often see that sort of content at the moment.

It claims 4k 12bit HDR 60Hz and 4:4:4 chroma, but only has HDMI 2.0 which doesn't have the bandwidth to support all that simultaneously.

It's possible that a newer chipset may support the latest video codecs like VP10, but I didn't see a comprehensive breakdown of support in my brief look. (And I'm too lazy to research the chipset right now ;)).

This looks like an audiophile targeted product to me, but I think if rather leave all the analog duties to my receiver to deal with.
