I've done a lot of tests with broadcom receivers over the years, ET8000, ET10000, HD2400, Duo2, Solo2, Ultimo 4K, Uno 4K, Uno 4K SE, OS mio 4K, HD51, Zgemma H7, NONE have faultless playback of media files.
The H9 Hislicon CPU is far better suited to media playback than ANY broadcom CPU.
Out of all E2 receivers I've tested media playback with, at the moment I have to day the cheap and cheerfull Zgemma H9 series wins. It's completely blown me away with its media playback performance, gone far beyond my expectations.
