    You don't need to disable rockchip. Disable only media codec (surface).
    Or upgrade to 1.0.7
    I tested zidoo x1 II with 4k 180mbps bitrate in kodi and it's working

    Using the v1.07 firmware , I still hear audio dropouts using passthrough for HD-audio (DTS -MA , DTS HD).

    Also a review by CNX-soft says the same issue

    PCM audi is not passthrough.
    Also not all video files are encoded by required standard h264 or h265.
    Also not all receivers are compatible with all devices.
    What video file you tried ?
    Try to test video files from Demo World.

    I forgot to metion that on LAN you are limited at maximum 100mbps so you need to play a maximum 90-95mbps video file.
    On usb you need to have an external HDD that support power by usb.
    For example i have 1 toshiba external hdd and 1 samsung external hdd.
    With samsung passport ultra hdd i don't have any issue.

    I like keeping my movies in a central server /nas so anyone in the house can access then .. Ideally I would like zidoo to solve the issues I know is important to my friends so I could recommend it to them and HD audio pass through is one of them.

    it's a new device. problems will be solved. not all problems can be solved.
    any device has bugs.

    Fully understand that and one reason to buy Zidoo is that they update firmware to fix bugs . And what I point out is part of their feature list in their ads.

    Hi:
    we will release new firmware, fix the special amplifier problem with DTS HD. and will post the test version for kodi 16.1, use the ICE958 standard for passthrough. and can use this version to test your problem.

    After i tested and tested, zidoo x1 II seems the perfect device for playback video files home. Rockchip rocks this year.
    Now i wish that zidoo team build a device with RK3399

    Tested this week: Nvidia shield pro, Amlogic S905 two devices, DVXa decoding on pc and zidoo x1 II.
    Conclusion: Zidoo x1 II in ZDMC is great and doesn't have heat issues like amlogic; some issue with ZDMC that exit in home screen but will be fixed.
