The competition doesn't sleep

[FuckaZip]

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:

LP100 HiFi Music Streamer

Upgrade your legacy system into wireless: AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect Roon Ready and more.

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

Too slow again

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.

Sometimes, no quite often it seems for me that Eversolo as brand is either seen as the archenemy or a wet dream for many WiiM users .

Or same with cd....
(I'd just like to know what's behind this ""ultrapath""?)

(Just one sub output...limit at 2+1 too)

Oogh, sorry, don‘t know why I overlooked that. Thanks.

Since the S50 Pro+ did not support gapless playback and could only output 16/44, I purchased two Minis at the beginning of 2022 (which were later replaced by Pros and, somewhat later, by Ultras). The Minis sounded better right away and already had the more advanced software at that time. The Minis are ultimately the reason why I stayed with WiiM.
At the time, the S50 Pro+ also had a problematic firmware update that caused the devices to no longer start up, so they had to be connected to a PC to be reflashed...
No, I personally wouldn't buy Arylic again either... Let's wait for the LP100 tests

Once I've had the suspicion that some people mixed up Arylic and Auralic. Surprised how it could be so cheap.

I was just thinking that. I had forgotten the name of the expensive one that stopped trading. You reminded me

Very much doubt it will measure any better than the 10. They just don't seem to give a whiff about technical performance.

...who knows. Maybe they've done their homework by now. I assume, if not, the same thing will happen to them as happened to Auralic

AFAIK they use Linkplay technology
