End user device

This is related to the end user device, and after reading the rules I think it's good to post.

I have both Shield versions, and a few other boxes. What is your go to end user device for a home theater to play media on? I'm tired of struggling to play things due to transcoding because one device or another won't handle it. If a PC of some kind is the answer so be it.

Let me see your recommendations please. 🙏.
