looking for a box that has audio out that can hook to my equalizer on my sound system.
been looking at mecool 7+ and 9 pro and dont see any real difference between the 2.
is there any other options out there that has av out that i should look at?
I’m not sure about the exact audio specifics you are looking for but we just updated our rankings of Android TV/Google TV Boxes - Best Android TV/Google TV Boxes in 2026 (Goodbye Fire TV)

Thank you for reminding about that list. and that helps with the mecool part of my question.
As far as audio specs. i am looking for ports out for audio.. example.. rca .. optical.. headphone.
The standard reviews for those boxes on the list does not include that.. and i am hoping someone has a box that has that and they can say .. hey this is what i use.. (be easier if the hdmi would work)

I’m assuming you have an older setup with a separate amplifier where the equalizer comes before the amp. If that’s the case, and you don’t care about surround sound, then you need a DAC (digital to analog converter). I would recommend changing your settings in the streaming device itself to output stereo only audio. If you have a modern AVR then the built in EQ and sound processing happens digitally before the signal is converted to analog and sent to your speakers. Don’t go out of your way trying to find a device that has analog output. You’ll be severely limiting your options. Buying a separate DAC is the way to go if you want to separate the audio and video from the HDMI output.
