After having had some audio problems with the NEO U1 in combination with a Sonos 5.1 system, I decided to purchase the U9-H. The versions with -H support hardware decoding of the DTS audio format (which Sonos cannot handle by default, but thanks to the hardware the audio stream is converted on the fly to a format that is supported by Sonos).
Again it appears that this is a top system, connect all cables, set up Android, install Kodi and scan for media. Plays almost all formats without hesitation. Of course I also immediately did the test with 4K@60fps material, which also went without problems.
The specifications here also indicate that no HDMI-CEC is available, but this technology is indeed on this device, so you can operate it with the remote of your TV set.
Wonderful piece of technology.

Device is new and meets expectations. However, there are a lot of Android boxes on the market with this one Octa Core processors that perform equally well for a lower price, time will tell whether the Minix NEO U9-H is worth the extra price.
Attention, latest software update contains boot issue, it is best to consult Google before installing updates. Enjoy watching.

As soon as the Minix U9 arrived, everything was connected. That's how it happened. Then watched a movie with the kids. Picture is very nice, on the TV and with a projector. Before this we had a WD TV Live, and it also had a nice picture, but was quite slow to start up and use. The Minix is completely ready to start up in about 30 seconds, so much better.
The remote is nice and small, and does the basics well, but some apps (spotify, the browser, google photos and play store, and probably others) require a mouse to use them. And a keyboard also helps if you want to search for things. So a remote control like the Minix A2 Lite or A3, or a separate keyboard with touchpad is handy to have.
