Chinese Time! Which decoder is better?

[HumbleDeer]

Hey everyone! Cheapo here.

I was thinking of buying an emotiva MC700, but that's a no go now that I don't have any money. Let stand that if it breaks it'd cost me over 300 eurobux to send it there and bring it back.

Soo.. (Hello, abraxalito.) Which one of these would be the better alternative when it comes to sound quality and having the same features the MC-700 does with sound?

They're both from Taobao market, apparently. I don't.. really know.

Or should I go for a video including option, for futureproofnessises? I also like the look of this one much more. Oh, and.. It has a fuse!

Okay, this is really sad. Five days passed and no one has taken the time to reply

If you really want surround then pick the one with a fuse. Otherwise choose a stereo device for good audio

Even the devil himself can not convince me to mount more than 2 loudspeakers in my home. Won't sell my soul for 5 speakers.

Hmm.. Would you mind explaining why having a fuse would be benefitial?

I already have my surround speakers mounted and I enjoy them with things like virtual reality games that I make myself. I love them for playing around with LWJGL libraries. 3D sound is my hobby by now :'D

I'm wondering why particularly the one with the fuse would be better a-part from the fact that it's a fuse. Is there functionally anything better? I'm only buying it for its audio lanes, and I don't need the video. +/- 850 Chinese Yuan comes to +/- €120. That's already not that cheap anymore for a kid like me.
