Amplifier vs. Receiver, Which is Better?

Works well with Spotify Connect wired directly to the amp and it sounded way better then using bluetooth transmission to the same amp. Truly plug and play, with Ethernet cable, nothing to configure. Bass is tight and detailed while the mids and highs are just as good. For the price I've paid it's a great deal... Great stuff!!

Eine super Basis für so viele Projekte. Mit so einem Modul ist es mein drittes Projekt. Sehr flexibel, umfangreich einzusetzen, viele Anschlussmöglichkeiten. Super Teil, gute Qualität.

I want to say a few items:
1) have bopught and am using Mini unamplified, the pro unamplified and the Pro amplified. in my project. My project was to build a multi-room adio system for my daughter's home. These are the perfect items to do this with as it functions on both NET and BT for my purposes. These were an upgrade as I had tried my own version but using BT only. My 1st project had too much noise in the circuits and did not do well in the house on BT (limited distance).
2) I bought them all (DIY ARYLC) on Amazon and received them quickly and in great shape. The packaging was excellent.
3) the project used my own home built ARYLIC - 3 Li battery pack, the puchased wood box, Peaker port, charging port, 12V to 5V DC mini converter board and a 1S3P BMS. Once connected to the local network on NET, I plugged Bose single cubes. for each remote box. It all came up immediately as advertised, except it would not Group the units.
4) I read several articles that said it was possible, however no luck. I am using the IOS version of 4Stream. Everything I tried Failed. I contacted ARYLIC help. After 6-7 emails back and fourth, no luck. I then remembered reading about a program Go Control. When I installed it, I went back to my 4Stream app and before leaving it, I logged off and relogged into the 4Stream App. Suddenly I could group my systems together like advertised. The version of 4stream did not change so I assume something was installed in Go Control drivers that is not in 4Stream. I am happy to announce that all features in ARYLIC function perfectly, and I am extremely HAPPY with the results!

This system meets and exceeds all expectations and I can say performs excellently. I tested my system verses a $2500 Sonos system and can say it performs that same in my view for SO MUCH less!

Nice product ARYLIC !! Well done.

A fusion of vintage elegance and modern technology, designed for discerning audiophiles who appreciate both heritage and innovation. A beautifully restored Nordmende Othello E302 9-tube radio manufactured in 1955, brings back the warmth and charm of classic audio with cutting-edge streaming capabilities. The radio was electronically restored and the damaged cabinet required refinishing. I removed the IR receiver and positioned a new one in the upper left corner of the dial faceplate where I removed a small circle of the paint. I replaced the included WiFi antenna with one that has a longer cable, and, added an external Bluetooth antenna. I tapped into a 245V DC circuit with a variable AC/DC to 5V DC transformer. I added a 1ft. USB cable to the rear so that I could connect to my PC and use the ACPWorkbench to program adjustments for the speakers. Next week I'll install an RJ45 port on the back panel to have the wired network option. I wish this board had a modular connector so I didn't have to solder. I can't believe how nice this sounds! I'm very happy with this board.

Works flawlesly without any degredation in audio quality. No issues with connectivity. Higly recommend it. Manages my whole rig.

I had an old pair of B&W DM602 S3 speakers knocking around and nothing to light them up. After poking around the internet for the cheapest way to give them Airplay, I settled on this little box.

I got the 32v version for no particular reason and, coupled with some acceptable Canare cables, now have really pleasant sound in my office… all burbling through the air courtesy of Apple Music.

With only 50 watts at 8 Ohm, you’re not going to shake any fillings loose, but the music gets plenty loud for a small room - and the quality of the sound stays solid all the way up. The amp doesn’t get too warm, even after hours of play. Between my computer and the phone app, everything that needs controlling is manageable. Software upgrades (2x in three days…) are handled via the app and are simple enough.

Fit and finish are very tidy and solid. The binding posts on the back are small, but seem willing to accept standard bananas. The crowns will fully unscrew and roll away, so pay attention when wiring. Also, flip the Ohm switch to your speakers liking. Easy to miss.

All told, this is a pleasure of an amp. My household audio is a few steps up in cost and listening pleasure with McIntosh gear driving Paradigm S8’s over rather more precious wires. AND that's exactly what makes this so special: for a tiny fraction of the cost, this little box has my office humming and is putting a smile on my face. That’s good value.

I have used my new Acrylic A30+ to update a vintage 60’s HiFi stereo cabinet, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision.

I looked at, and tried, many other bluetooth amps, but was sold on the A30+ because it also had the WIfI use as well (which is almost impossible to find on other manufactured units - most only have the bluetooth ability. With the A30+ hooked up, I am able to listen to all my iPhone stored audio music, and internet radio, using the WiFi feature … which sounds much better than bluetooth in my opinion.

Using the remote control for the A30+ is my favorite feature. Also using the “4Stream” app on my iPhone works very good too. The “4Stream” app also works very well on my iPhone. Getting used to the ‘4Stream” app takes some time, but once you are familiar with the app, it fairly easy to set-up with the A30+. I also like the fact that with the A30+ “Remote”, I don’t even have to use my iPhone when selecting or playing my (6) favorite stored WiFi streaming radio stations on the “Remote” (SmoothJazz.com being my favorite).

Using an external portable CD payer is another great feature of the A30+. Simply use the 3.5mm “Audio Input Jack”, and you can run various accessories on the A30+.

I have also been very pleased with the Acrylic Customer Service. They were very accessible and always responded to my inquires.

Overall, I love the A30+ Unit, the design is small, it’s features are many, and the sound quality is great. I love it so much I now have three of the A30+ units, and one is just an un-used back-up should anything happen to one of them … as I can’t imagine being without the Acrylic A30+ !

I use it with my Audiolab 6000a amp through optical out.l have now only Spotify. Streaming through the device is so clear and CDquality sound. Tidal and other channels have great music quality. It's EQ settings is very nice and D.bass facility is a great for those who love bass.more over the 4stream application is very nice experience ❤️

It's a very valid product easy to setup and use. I already have 4 in my house. To be perfect I would love to see an official home assistant integration developed by arylic and also an landscape mode in the android app.

Used the Up2Stream Pro board and a small IPS graphic equaliser screen to repurpose a pioneer digital timer. Works a treat.

Great Apple Airplay wifi receiver to power my bookshelf speakers.

arylic up2stream pro kullanıyorum .HD ses kartınıda satın alıp evimdeki sisteme uyguladım.Kullanımı kolay ,birçok bağlantı seneçeneği sunuyor.3d yazıcı ile arka kapagını yaptım ve mdf bir kutu içine yerleştirdim.

I down selected B50SE due to its multiple input features in an affordable package skipping the HDMI, which I wasn't looking forward to. I was going through various reviews and was in a dilemma to own one or not. Finally I bit the bullet. I paired it with Polk RTi A1 bookshelf's. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of output what it gave with my 320kbps mp3 files. I immediately fell in love with the "Deep Bass" feature and never expected smooth deep thumps from by A1 pair. Its a wonderful package and going to spend more time with this little wonder box.

Me parece un streamer muy versatil, y de calidad, muy interesante sus oportunidades conectivas, yo incluiría salidas XRL, para aumentar su grado audiofilo, un dispositivo versátil de calidad, muchas gracias

The Arylic S50 Pro+ is an outstanding audio streaming preamplifier that elevates any sound system. Its exceptional sound quality, versatile connectivity options, and user-friendly interface. Its a great replacement to my previous Asus Xonar Essence One. The audio quality is comparable, but S50 pro+ wins in everything else (streaming, volume controll and price)
