simply cannot take our
eyes off this receiver. The
latest variant arrived at
our test center in an unu-

Music lovers and
home theatre enthusiasts will
surely appreciate this optical
digital output in connection
with a digital amplifier. For
analog processing you might
require a digital-analog con-
verter (DAC).

LAN:

receiver. This way the AZBox
miniMe can be hidden out of
sight in a cabinet or behind
the TV panel, for example.
If you want to make use of
that option you need to sepa-
rately obtain the IR receiver,
since the receiver itself is
shipped without it.
Due its small size the back
panel of AZBox miniMe looks
a bit crowded, but that’s only
due to the fact that it offers
