@Simic.

Depending on where you live and whether you can import from Israel or the US will change things.

In the UK only the two top end versions are available (AFAIK). I have the cubox-i 4 pro with 2G and from the monitoring I have done, it is an overkill for xbian. I've never seen 1, let alone 4 processors get anywhere near 60% usage.

Memory is fully used but that is not a contributing factor. So any of the top two will do.

I haven't tried SPDIF but I have had problems with HDMI which need to be sorted out.

I run DTS via my AVR which has DTS encoding but never tried without. I can't see any reason why the processors cannot cope.

Still this is still in the test phase, but in reality it is the same code as the RPi, only runs faster.

From Solid-Run website, it looks like it should run on any of the variants.

The one downside is that the WIFI is only 2.4Ghz, not 5Ghz, so if that is an issue, it would make sense to buy a non wifi version and buy an external dongle.

However, you may want to wait until the release of the Hummingboard. A RPi replacement with the same dimensions and outputs, just faster and more memory.

This release SHOULD run on it, but I don't know for sure.

As with all computers, go for the one you can afford. With more O/S being developed having the extra memory will help if you want to run some of the other releases
