The competition doesn't sleep

I've retired two S50Pro+ models and replaced them with Ultras. Arylic has come up with something here, though. Including Airplay 2 and decent Bluetooth codecs (RX/TX). Not that I personally miss it, but the device could be something for those who prefer AKM, miss Airplay, and want to use Bluetooth properly:


At first glance, Qobuz Connect is missing yet, otherwise a capable competitor (apart from the display).

At first glance I thought it was interesting. Especially when I saw the HDMI input and read AKM DAC.
But then I noticed that it doesn't even have UPnP on board.
I wonder how many people buy this product in good faith assuming that it can communicate via UPnP as it is a defacto standard and then have to return it as they come to realize this major shortcoming.

Upnp is mentioned in the spec under wireless

Doesn’t seem to have any native multi room but relies on other casting protocols or Roon. Plus no Amazon Music which would rule it out for me.
