There is two interesting for me mini pc's on aliexpress. One has 4308u with iris 5100(like mac mini 2014). And secod has 5557u with iris 6100(like macbook pro 2015). Is it possible to install os x on these machines? audio is realtek alc 897. I haven't found a AppleALC or AppleHDA for it. Will VoodooHDA work? Maybe there is incompatible chipset or something, i don't know. What should i check from seller to know exactly?
 
There is no real way of being able to accurately predict the likelihood of macOS installation success. You can always use USB audio if you are unable to get the audio running. You will need to check for Ethernet and wifi compatibility.
 
Lan is realtek rtl8111dl. Wi fi i'm sure has to be replaced. Is there something special with chipset?

For desktop wifi card information:

Perhaps worth looking at the laptop section as this hardware is probably manufactured in a similar manner:

The Realtek rtl8111dl LAN will probably work best with Mieze's realtek option for ethernet.

The Realtek ALC 897 codec is quite rare in pc hardware, you can try the audio forum and see if it is possible to get it running (may be related to ALC 887 or similar) the Voodoo option may also work, but for a very small amount of money you can buy a compatible USB audio converter that certainly does work.

The following USB audio adaptor work very well:
