[What Hi-Fi?]

The Fire TV Cube is a beefed-up smart streamer with Alexa at its core – but how does it fair in the picture and sound departments?

Pictures are tremendous and the sound is brilliant. Ignore the shameless plug for Cr-Apple and buy with confidence.

I would agree. The latest Fire TV Cube is unimpressive. I see no difference between it and the previous generation Cube. The New octa-core 2.0 GHz processor does not help with scrolling around - it still gets stuck or is slow to respond. And my remote regularly stops responding. I have to switch to my Samsung TV remote to move around on the screen until the Fire TV remote decides to wake up. If you have the 2nd generation Cube, keep it. Maybe the next Fire TV Cube will be better than this ho-hum streamer.

I don't really understand this test. I have a fire cube TV 3, I find it exceptional. Apart from the fact that there are audio format decoding problems, in particular AC3 and eac3, I watch my downloaded films whether they are in 4K Atmos, TrueHD Atmos, DTS HDMA, Dolby matte and so on and I really have no problem. No problem with dolby vision and hdr10 plus, the quality of my movies is exceptional. So I do not understand the remarks of this test which indicates that the precision of the image and sound would not be at the level while this device allowed me to replace my Nvidia shield TV 2019, the only problem today and that since the update for Dolby TrueHD and DTS HDMA decoding, this disturbs the decoding of encapsulated AC3 and eac3 formats.

I have All the models and believe me, I see and feel the entirely difference.
Just the fact to use Kodi or kodinerd show All The power.
