Guys,
Looking at the Minix U9-H with the A3 remote is about rm720 on Lazada... is it worth the price? Because reading this thread most users opt for RM300 boxes which same to have more or higher specs than the U9-H, or am I missing something out? I mainly want to use the box to run spotify and output to speakers for music so good sound output is important and maybe English movies, dramas... AC wireless is also important but not so much 4K |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Mar 31 2017, 02:15 PM) That may not have been the best move.. Here's my 2 cents; Thanks man...The Minix Neo U9-H is a very good buy? Yes. Will it satisfy you? Yes. However, based on your (simple looking) requirements, it does not seem like you need such a device just yet. But then, who knows.. Once you have it, your needs might grow and it's a good thing that it'll still handle it. Congrats and enjoy your purchase when it arrives..  I actually want something that I can output music from Spotify to a DAC amp and output the music through stereo bookshelf speakers... The weird part of this setup would be that a screen would be a small screen so not sure if the air mouse would be comfortable to use on a smaller screen or not... This way can select songs without phone or tablet, I wanted something to look like a desktop style permanent rather than stream from mobile... Which device would be the best fit for this? The other use would be to watch english movies on the tv on watch music videos from Youtube... but this would mean that it is in another location....  So many leave one at the tv area and use another (cheaper?) as the music streamer with small screen? |

QUOTE(chpang @ Mar 31 2017, 02:46 PM) Haha... is about 1.8k.... Uuuu la la... 1.8k? hehhehehe so I got no regret with spending 0.7 for u9-h My ex media box was minix U1, after a year changed to Nvidia Shield, compare both units....really like VW GTI vs Honda Civic 2.0.... Honestly, I never try U9 before, don't know the U9 performance.  Just try only lar... see if I like it or not... |

QUOTE(dwRK @ Mar 31 2017, 03:06 PM) You can Chromecast Spotify... that would be the easiest...the Google Chromecast box or Xiaomi Mi Box International or Malaysia version will do Sonos is nice but no screenYou can use your phone as controller & viewer, by mirroring the box to you phone... the Himedia boxes have this HiControl app for it... You can do likewise with other boxes using Teamviewer remote app but you will need to set up a free account for it... You can also get a Sonos... These allows you to stream music without having to connect to a monitor or mouse after setting up... If you don't want to use phone... then a small monitor and wired / wireless mouse is fine too...any box will do... Once setup then no monitor or mouse how to change music? Yes, I don't want to use my phone, so small monitor and mouse is most probably the best |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Mar 31 2017, 04:04 PM) U hv 2 distinct needs... spotify music/dac and watch videos on tv... at 2 diff locations. you are right... so once I have it I just you it to see how to set it up conveniently to satisfy 1 location most probably as you said the tv2 uses, 2 locations... hard to use single device. I will not crack my head and deal with inconvenience.... use 2 devices!  Spotify is a rather simple app, just 2.0 audio. U just need an old tablet or phone with right connections to dac. The box u bought is a powerful one, a waste just for spotify. What i do, i use the box mainly for videos on tv, with avr and speakers. When i want spotify music, i just pick one artiste and let it run with the tv off... until i want to change artiste. |
