Hi titi91, picking the right device for you depends on what is important for you... and how excited you get if you have to muck around in buried settings to solve problems that eventually pop up. If you write down the list of things that are important to you and then watch some YouTube reviews, you can focus in on the devices that deliver what you want. I also advise going with a box that has a loyal fan base and a responsive company active on a dedicated forum. I know that Minix has this. But they are probably not alone. Since you have an Andoer MXIII, and since wrxtasy recommended Wetek as well as Minix, I just checked in YouTube for folks who reviewed all three brands. I came up with reviews by Roberto Jorge from Portugal. He liked both Minix (e.g., X8-H Plus model) and Wetek (e.g. Core model) boxes, not so much Andoer.
For me, I am looking for ATMOS support. I have 4 speakers in the ceiling and 7 surrounding plus one (not yet two) subwoofer(s). But my kids like to game. So I am investigating the Nvidia Shield for my next box.
Summary... make a list of what is important to you, then check for players that score well in reviews for these items... and then check that the device brands have active and positive forums of their own... that is, a healthy community behind them.
Note, just for Minix, if you want reviews of the different models with their different price points, then SomeCoolTech has a bunch of these. They also review other brands, e.g., Tronsmart, with which I am not familiar. But, for all I know, they may be right for you.
