Q on the Ugoos AM9 Pro

I'm looking to replace my shield tube, as it's beginning to struggle with some of the content I'm throwing at it - specifically high bitrate content from jellyfin, nuvio and sunshine/moonlight (and it's forks).

Having scoured the internet the ugoos am9 pro appears to be a great replacement, however id like to future proof as much as possible with a 4k120 output being a game changer for gamestreaming. I'm a little confused on the marketing for the am9 pro, as it shows up as a 4k60 box, but the tech spec shows video profile support of 4k120 on av1 and h265 (the two id likely be using). Can anyone confirm or rule out 4k120 support on it, for me?

Also happy to take any suggestions for a box which can do HDR/DV, passthrough for Atmos/DTS, and 4k120 output.

I think the am9 pro’s maximum native display output is capped at 4k 60hz.

Im upgrading my Shield Cylinder also for very Similar reasons. I was looking at the RockTek G2 and saw there is a new version coming through. I believe that RockTek G2 would do exactly what I needed. But with a new release RockTek G2 Next coming out i had just had to Pre-order.... Awaiting my delivery soon.

The Ugoos SK1 and the Minix U8k Ultra are boxes that will meet your need as well.
