Renderers Has anyone tried MXQ with Amlogic S805 Quad core processor

[Eldar Vanyar]

Hi,

If I understand correctly a renderer streams the data from a HD and outputs it into a DAC (or in this case TV as well)

 

Has anyone tried an MXQ box which is a single board and links very similar to an Odroid C1+ in relation to specs of processor etc to me.

 

It would cost at least £50 to build the Odroid C1+ whereas the MXQ box can be bought for about £25 on eBay. So it's all assembled in a nice small box with external psu. It comes with Android OS but could probably be overwritten etc.

I think it has an 8gb Emmc

Do you think something like Rune Audio would work on this? I think it my be worth a punt for something like this.

Has anyone used one or similar to this?
