Review of Up2Stream Mini - Multiroom Wi-Fi Streamer Board (No Amp)
Simply connect the Up2Stream mini to the DIN 5 pole Tape/Phono input found on all vintage radios from 60‘s, 70‘s and beyond. Add 5 volt power ( I used a Power Bank). Done!
A 5-Pin DIN Plug to 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Audio Cable are available for a few dollars/Euros.
Add a remote control for even easier use of your vintage unit.
I assume I can turn off the LED. If not, that should be an option or automatic dimming after time. Internal mount possible for the adventurer, but my post is about a quick way to add digital very for low cost and effort.
A USB C connection would be a great option as it is getting harder to find the USB Micro cables.
I received my order with in 4 days.i like sound it’s very clear.i used 12v battery .all music app working .i will make one 2.1 speakers i will share video link later
Arrived quickly directly from Arylic, setup was straight forward and the unit sounds great. Has a lot of capability with optical in. Happy with the value for money of this unit.
My Arylic A50 of 5 years started giving me a lot of feedback on some specific frequencies in Aux input, so it was relocated from the tv room to my garage since bluetooth and wifi still work and I upgraded to the B50 for a more seamless tv-stereo speaker experience as I don’t like the sound of soundbars.
Initial installation was very simple just adding and hdmi cable from the tv to the B50 for sound transfer, sound level control and power on/off functions. ARC connections great and helps minimize remote controls to handle. I have a Sony Bravia app on my phone to control the tv, and the app controls the volume levels as well which is super convenient. I do like that the row of input lights illuminates with more or less lights depending on the selected volume levels.
The sound is too much of a V shape for me, but was easily customized with the smartphone GoControl app eq settings.
After a few weeks of being impressed with the integration, my kids would find the B50 unresponsive and the tv would automatically go back to it’s built in speakers. The issue is easily remedied by turning the B50 off, then back on with the manual power switch and the B50 is back. No firmware update needed for me yet. Great product, but not perfect.
After using Arylic S50 Pro+ for about 2 months, I found it very capable streamer for just 149$. Apart from HDMI ARC, I did not think there is really anything to complain about.
Its line output's neutral and clean presentation is a BIG PLUS over other similarly priced streamers, it hasn't really left anything to desire from audio output quality.
S50 pro+ being discovered in other apps, like Wiim Home, is also a plus. however, I only use 4Stream and Go Control apps with it on daily basis.
Included Remote feels decent and very responsive to use.
Overall its definitely worth a look.

I was looking for a better option than connecting some older Bose and stereo equipment via bluetooth. Of course, I searched Youtube and came across the idea of using wifi due its wider bandwidth for music and of course the convenience factor. Happy I did and happier I found the little gem called the Up2 Stream mini from Acrylic. I was a very easy and efficient purchase. It was easy to setup and works well!
The C10+ is a very high quality and convenient product. There is nothing superfluous. I listen to it through an external HiFi amplifier and am very pleased with the sound quality. Especially HiRes.
Very happy with this and it arrived very quickly.
While the B20 is great whenever you figure a way to get it to play the speakers. It plays the sub but the speakers were silent. Probably operator error on my end but directions suck. I did get it to work for a James Bond movie but it didn't work the next day. It sounds great when it works. I returned it but it would have been great if it wasn't so complicated. I had to let her go and the return was easy. I recommend you give it a try as well. If it works she'll serve you well.
low price for Google Cast Music Streamer
Much better amp than I expected. The base boost is great. The remote app could have a better look, but it works.
I bought this online. The delivery was quick. I had earlier experience with A50 streamer. This is bigger and more solid and has enough power to bring life to your speakers. Another user complained of not having a dedicated subwoofer jack, however, that is not really necessary. If you have a powered subwoofer (most are) then you can use the low-level LINE OUT rca jacks for this purpose. This is what I am using, and it functions like a charm. A great product in this price category.
this little preamplifier has exceeded all my expectations!
it has a ton of very useful and practical features:
phono input, subwoofer output, a remote control, an HDMI-ARC connection (so that your TV will automatically turn on the BP50 and control the volume too), two-way bluetooth (it's able to transmit content to two bluetooth headphones).
i also discovered that the app "Go Control" not only provides input selection and volume control, but it also has extensive tone equalization, subwoofer crossover frequency, and a "deep bass" adjustment that might fool you into thinking there is a subwoofer installed (when only two bookshelf speakers are playing).
all in all, am very satisfied with the sound and quality of this product, an amazing value at this price point! highly recommended.
Just setup my first DIY amp. Ready to buy more!! Very easy to setup and the sound is amazing.
Adds GoogleCast to any setup. МАС-10 + Амфитон АI-01-1 + GoogleCast 🥰
After growing tired of fighting with respotify and other solutions, nice to have something that just works. One tiny gripe is that you have to resort to the low level protocol to turn off the power LED which is otherwise piercing. Wish it was available through the HTTP API.
How about a version with balanced inputs and outputs, including Subbass extra with same Dsp as stereo PLUS Delay for time/phase alignment
Using a50+ to power two outdoor patio speakers. Easy set up and sound is very good for such a small unit. I use AirPlay to stream music, and there is a little latency with my music app - not enough to cause any issues but that is the reason for 4/5 stars.
Works satisfactory.
B50 Bluetooth Stereo Amplifier With Audio Transmitter
I’ve spent a few days with the BP50, and it’s a solid little unit if you know what you’re getting. For under $100, it’s hard to complain. Sound-wise, it’s clean and neutral, though not audiophile-grade. Tons of inputs, decent DAC, and it didn’t flinch during daily use.
Among all the budget streamers I've used so far, LP10 is the easiest to set up and the most reliable. I've never experienced any pauses while playing due to a bad network. And its output sample rate is now more than 44.1kHz! It's nearly perfect for my Topping D50 III.
The setback is that my old favorite Arylic web interface is gone, and I mainly use only the optical out interface, so I cannot use any EQ feature.
