Looking for Android TV box for HDR/AV1

by ManuSwaG

Okay there are a lot of android TV boxes out there. I am looking for an android TV Box that can play videos in 4k with HDR which supports AV1 decoding. The apps I will mainly use will be HBO Max, Netflix, Prime and a the Plex app for my Plex server.

On the hardware side, It needs to have an USB port for my dragonfly black!. Having an audio out would also be nice. But having a USB port is enough. Box I found:

Mi Box S. But I can't find if it supports AV1 hardware decoding. Would software decoding be enough? Or are you guaranteed to have a bad experience
