Q5 is not compatible with 10bit H.265. 8bit H.264 max. It is unlikely that this will change with a future update.

For 10 bit, you need an AMLogic S905 based box, or nVidia Shield TV.

Both are expected to support HD audio, but for 3D ISO's, AML will only render at half-rez, while Shield will only play in 2D mode. So, for full 3D + HD audio, Q5 remains the best player. For 4K, Shield is best as of now.

Or wait until ~ May for new Himedia boxes based on HiSilicon Hi3798C V200. 10bit 4K60, Mali-T720. No idea about 3D or 7.1 Audio yet but it's Himedia/HiSilicon so they should be there.

That's fresh news, we only learnt about it this week.  8)

No more news. That post was probably the first public reference to it anywhere. ;)
