Purple case I believe. So how are you using an optical connection? . I have the 3600, and it is quite responsive. I also have an Ultra 4640, and it too is extremely responsive. The 4640 and the 4660 have the same CPU (ARM Cortex A53 quad core), but I don't know what the processor speed is on the 4660. I have my doubts the 4660 is noticeably faster. The 4640 also has twice the memory for channel storage (1GB vs. 512 MB) and also has a Dolby Digital encoder (which no other Roku player has), so if your AVR doesn't support DD+ it can downconvert the audio to DD. . The 4660 has newly reported support for bitstreaming DTS Master Audio, but you need to use HDMI audio to get it. Both versions of the Ultra will bitstream the DTS core audio, but again I believe HDMI audio is required for that. But that is only important if you are playing local media from a server of USB drive. . Yes, some people have reported issues with the Ultra, but I personally have not had any real problems. Not discounting the issues others have had, simply stating it's not universal. If 4K isn't a requirement for you, you could consider almost any newer Roku and use an HDMI audio extractor. Amazon search for one. Or, if you want to get ready for 4K, I suggest considering an AVR update with HDMI ports that support HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2.

This process will help you establish a connection with your home network and the internet, configure preferences and settings, and activate your Roku device. Before you begin, determine if your Roku device will be connected via wireless or wired connection. For a wireless connection, you will need to know your wireless network name (sometimes called the SSID) and the password you use to access it. These details are likely the same as what you use when connecting your computer or smartphone to the internet at your home. If you need help, review the suggestions for locating your wireless network name and password.
