Hi folks,

I have a WDTV box, its a bit of a pain, id like a better solution, it seems like Android boxes are the way to go.

I have a relatively old 5.1 Amp which predates HDMI so I would like to get something which will output DD and DTS via optical into it.

I see some boxes have an optical output but i have read many will not actually work, any suggestions on a box that will work?
