The NUC comes as a 'barebones' micro PC and won't run without adding memory and non-volitile storage (like a disc drive, but I recommend using a solid state SSD drive as these things fly, no moving parts): Congratulations! This will give you an extremely fast media player for MCH music (up to 7.1 192kHz/24 bit and play 1080p HD video with DTS-HDMA, Atmos hires audio etc via HDMI pass-through to your AVR) So you've purchased a new Intel NUC to use as a Media Player. NOTE: The components to build this Intel NUC Media Player can be found on this post (a little under $400): This is currently in alpha at 1st Nov 2018 but is very stable.

Installation is same, just use LibreElec 9 or later.

No need to find an 5th gen NUC as described here. STEP 1: Install NUC components (NUC, memory and disc drive)ĮDIT: November 2018: The latest LibreElec/Kodi Leia now supports Hires Multichannel audio on 7th and 8th generation NUCs.
