BP50 Bluetooth Preamplifier With ESS ES9023P DAC

This is a great little box for what it does. I'm using it basically as a preamp for bluetooth.

The phono pre amp is decent. No, it's not a really expensive preamp, but I return the Art DJ II since it really didn't make too much difference. That's probably due to the DAC, which is the next point.

The DAC to ADC isn't wonderful. I wish there was a pure analog pass through. Since it's not great, I have my turntable going to a manual switch so I can use my other preamp for the main system - because running it through the Arylic greatly reduces quality.

So, I enjoy for bluetooth listening, but that's about it. They advertise the DAC model and all, but that's probably it's week point.

I got mine for 15% off and at that price, very much worth it.

Hisses and pops and not in a good way. Low volumes there is a loud hissing. Large nasty pooing sound on channel change on TV optical input. And popping when changing source. Shame because seams like a good product otherwise. Will be sending back

Very nice

Everything just works, up to two devices can pair with the receiver (only one can playback though). However, switching between the devices really is a breeze. Considering the low price point, I highly recommend this device!

This thing has hdmi arc, that's all I need to say. Has a sub out that is configured over an app, you sit down in your favourite spot, then adjust the crossover over your phone. Easy. The app is responsive too, no complaints there. Has a plethora of other inputs, digital and analog. It also has a phono preamp. All for a really really good price

The new Arylic BP50 Bluetooth Preamplifier With ESS ES9023P DAC is installed to replace my old Yamaha WXC50 B Music Cast Audio Component Preamplifier which I bought from Amazon.ca 6 years ago. I decided to try on this Arylic BP50 because it uses the latest ESS sound processor family, the ES9023P DAC, instead of the ES9006 being used by the Yamaha WXC-50. In addition, this new Arylic BP50 provides a HDMI (ARC) connection to my TV as an audio extractor so the TV performs like a HiFi stereo system with a subwoofer.

Replacement is easy and straightforward, just remove the audio and subwoofer cables from the WXC-50 and directly connect to the same labelled audio sockets of the BP50, connect the HDMI cable to TV ARC HDMI. Then turn on the power of the BP50, you can hear the music and voice from YouTube, Blu-ray or TV box as selected by using the TV control. It is so wonderful that you can also control the volume outputs of the speakers with your TV control.

I am using my old JBL LS40 stereo speakers and one JBL LS120 subwoofer (this subwoofer was repaired and replaced with the Dayton SPA500DSP 500W Class-D Subwoofer Plate Amplifiers with DSP), an Samsung QN800B 8K 75in TV. The Crown DriveCore XLS-1002 200W Class-D Professional Power Amplifier, the 3 RCA male to XLR male balanced audio cables, the Panasonic DP-UB820 Blu-ray and the Nvidia Shield TV box were bought from Amazon.ca.

I tried to buy from the Arylic Store of Amazon, but this new version of BP50 Bluetooth Preamplifier With ESS ES9023P DAC, was shipped from Arylic directly.

The High Pass Filter of the Crown DriveCore XLS-1002 200W Class-D PA Power Amplifier is set to 80Hz using its internal DSP, while the Low Pass Filter of the Dayton SPA500DSP 500W Class-D Subwoofer is set to 80Hz with its internal DSP. The TV, the Nvidia Shield and the Panasonic DP-UB820 Blu-ray are wire connected to 1G Fibre Internet.

This new Arylic BP50 can be controlled by a Go Control Apps. It was downloaded from Google Play to my Android phone. Registered with my own account, then paired BP50 with Bluetooth. I keep all original factory settings except that, I changed crossover frequency to 80Hz then deactivated it and also changed heavy bass to 0% and then deactivated it. This is a very handy Apps that you can select input, control volumes, and also the frequencies equalizer for your favorite tone settings through Bluetooth of your mobile phone anywhere within 10 to 15 Meters from your Arylic BP50.

It is so wonderful when I first power up my Arylic BP50 and 8K TV settings. Before I order this BP50, I hope that it will be as good as my old Yamaha WXC-50 Preamplifier. When I turned to YouTube showing the “House of the Rising Sun” by Athens Creek, see attached photo, the music was so great, the vocals of the two singers were so focused. The music instruments and vocals of the two singers showed their positions with very clear and detailed sounds and depth of field and wide atmosphere. Then I turned to string music with big drums, WOW, drums bases were punching and the string sounded so detailed. There is an advancement in the whole sounds of my Crown power amplifier and JBL speakers settings with the convenience of the HDMI (ARC) audio extraction through my TV in handling of my Blu-ray player and TV box. See attached photos for wiring connection.

It is highly recommended to use this new Arylic BP50 Bluetooth Preamplifier With ESS ES9023P DAC as a HiFi Preamplifier for 2.1 stereo system especially with TV HDMI (ARC). Sure, the combined features of the ESS ES9023P and the HDMI (ARC) will not make you disappointed.

When turning off the power of this Arylic BP50 Preamplifier, there are some popping sounds, hoping that Arylic could upgrade the firmware to improve and eliminate these issues. In general, this BP50 is an excellent DAC Preamplifier.
