I'm currently using a https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc2-home-cloud-two/, which has this cpu: Samsung Exynos5422 Cortex-A15 2Ghz and Cortex-A7 Octa core CPUs.

It is obviously not enough for real time transcoding, which is ok because I do not want it. But getting subtitles out of files and other remuxing tasks are slow as well, I'd like some more power without building a full custom hptc.

Is an intel NUC worth it? Or is there any other significantly faster raspby-clone?

I'm using an old refurbished dell thin client that I got for 30 bucks on eBay. Works really well. Can recommend

Same, it's a great machine and I've had no issues so far. It can even transcode 4K without breaking a sweat

Running on 11th gen. Intel NUC11ATKC4 (Intel Celeron N5105), it was pretty cheap (compared to other Intel NUCs) and the Celeron is good enough for running Jellyfin and everything else I run with a good transcoding performance @ non-60fps movies at 4K.

I run jellyfin (along with about 20 other self hosted services) on a fitlet2

Orange Pi PC (Allwinner H3, 1GB LPDDR3, HEVC support built-in). I was skeptical that the HEVC decoding would actually work with Armbian as it does with OpenELEC but it would seem so. At least I've had no problems with it while I previously had severe transcoding delays for x265 videos when running Jellyfin on a RasPi 2.

Same but if the Quality of the Media is too Big it doesn't follow.
