Your Logitech Z906 support DTS sound (not DTS HD/ MA) so you will not get the best possible solution but most effects you will get if you use SPDIF/Toslink/Optical cable.

The H8 do have output for SPDIF cable so you should be able to have some pleasure with the H8 box now that the 1.0.9 firmware have arrived.

Connect H8 to Logitech z906 using S/PDIF cable to get 5.1 surround.

Android Settings:

Settings - Playback - HDMI Output: SPDIF.

Kodi Settings:

SYSTEM - Settings - System - Audio output:

Number of channels: 5.1
Enable passthrough: CHECK
Dolby Digital capable receiver: CHECK
DTS capable receiver: CHECK

1. Yes.
2. Q5 quad is discontinued so that may be a factor in your decision. Q5 has better image quality (the best), H8 is more powerful overall.
