4k box with DTS downmix

[Trial]

Hi,
I read in the gigablue board that the driver have the same problem since half a year or so because of BCM. It seems that all 4K ARM boxes have the same problem.

Test is simple. Enable DTS downmix and listen if you hear something with default E2 player. Any file with DTS/DTS-HD will do as I do not hear anything on all my DTS files.

So interesting!! Downloaded 4 tracks (2 x DTS, 2 xDTS-HD)
Giga4K - sometimes played dts-HD. not dts dts-HD sometimes from start. sometimes from restart (eg stopped after a minute and then you get msg - do you want to resume?)
Zgemma H9 (HiSilicon) - will play all, but sometimes you had to pause and resume to get sound.
Octagon SF8008 - played all. with an occasional few milli second hiccups (but I am getting these on also on eg BBC1 HD(AC3) so think there is an issue with the box.

So HiSilicon is the way to go ... except no high end box at the moment (maybe Zgemma)

Just reran those tracks on my Giga 4K UHD and the dts-hd plays perfectly, but not dts .... the previous test was on the Giga4K UE (which I would expect to be identical .... but obviously is not)

I have the same audio hiccups - possibly hdmi handshaking issues. But the SF8008 has played back almost all audio formats except LPCM so I agree that the HiSilicon boxes seem to be the way forward with a bit of polishing.
