The competition doesn't sleep

[FuckaZip]

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

I don't think that's possible. Those who could think so probably don't even know Auralic

They might know Auralic and not know Arylic

 

[FuckaZip]

AFAIK they use Linkplay technology

...only the ready designed modules, right?

...I would have been surprised by the simple housing design

Yes, of course. But anyway..

I once talked to a guy from the distribution. He told me that their biggest problem is that people too often google "Acrylic" instead.

Not anymore. They have switched to Libre Wireless modules on their newer models.

...OK, now we know the real reason for Auralic's bankruptcy.

Thanks!

No, it was Arylics problem. Sometime one single letter changes a lot. Auralics disaster had other reasons, although I was quite happy with their Mini for a while.

This explains why they are now using new software.

This explains why they are now using new software.

Exactly, the app looks definitely different now. And neither the web page nor the pictures nor the user manual for the LP100 clearly state what it can do or may be supposed to do at some later point in time.

What the pictures tell us: You can adjust the treble, the mids, the bass and ... well, then the treble again (in case you changed your mind since making the first setting).



I'll confess, I do like the looks ... but even the Ultra small form factor appears impractical to me. Unlikely those who have highly resolving systems I'd prefer a built-in power supply.

According to the specs the LP100 is really tiny at just 167 X 167 X 43,5 mm. This makes me think when we are going to see this matching AI turntable from Auralyriac:



The plinth must be something like 230 X 175 X 43.5 cm. It's obviously optimised for playing the good old 5.7" vinyl.

Joking aside (it's them joking, I didn't create any of these pictures) the biggest problem could really be the software.

Let's wait and see. The list price is ambitious.

It has a Treble Balance function, clearly; Yin Treble and Yang Treble separately adjustable.

Also, the thing must have been tested with extremely high-gain amps downstream since they had to cap max volume to just 15%.

For Arylic or Auralic? Every time I write Arylic autocorrect makes it Acrylic

 

[Deleted member 29741]

For Arylic, of course. This damned "c" seems to be an obsession for auto correction.

no-one touches WiiM for the ease of use options. I don't even touch the WiiM app and I can use every function I need.
If ever do need the app, it's excellent, has a tonne of features and doesn't lag.

Ok, Cambridge Audio has my attention! These look fabulous and might just be replacing my entire WiiM Ultra - amp - speaker setup someday.

There's still some room left in WiiM's product lineup for a serious active bookshelf/tower speaker!

They do look nice, but overpriced @ $900 AU for the cheapest 3" speaker.

Then there's always the Arylic LP10 -even smaller- competition for the Wiim mini.

Also the Atonemo Streamplayer is also new competition for the Wiim mini -

The Streamplayer

The Streamplayer lets you wirelessly control and pair any speaker through your phone. Airplay 2. Tidal Connect. Spotify Connect. Google Cast.

atonemo.com

Developed in Sweden and launched for sale last month

Both of these have Google Cast as an option -something the Mini lacks
