UPDATE: Complaint about 4STREAM app not arranging USB files into folders is now fixed with the latest app update. Congrats are due to Arylic developers for the quick fix.

The Chip is an MVSILICON AP8064 Chip according the customer service. Nice video! Helpful content for Streamer and Audio devices!

Perfect for second systems like bedroom, study etc. Cheap (around 100$) Spotify streamers are usually very bad in quality or lacking features or a decent app. Thank you for this recommendation, I will definitely consider it! P.s. Koji si ti kralj, budget streameri su obično krsh, gde si ga samo iskopao :)

No hi res output is a deal breaker for me. Glad I saw your video.

Zaista je potrebno spojiti uređaj i pokazati šta/kako da se ipak vidi !

I have the Andover Songbird and it looks like it uses the exact same app UI. It's not "bad" but it does seem to be very buggy, often having very slow response time along with completely freezing up. It does sound good but it's extremely frustrating when a song cuts in and out or simply doesn't start. I only use Amazon HD, maybe the other streaming applets in the main are less buggy.

If you focus a bunch of reviews on tube preamps you will increase your viewership, as they aren't commonly reviewed in the other audiophile channels. (Just a suggestion)

Does it have WLAN? If yes - which Standard and including WPS?
Will it show up in Spotify as a "Spotify Connect Speaker"?

Thank you for the review. For Spotify streaming can it be done only through 4Stream app or will it work with the Spotify app directly with Spotify Connect once set up and running?

I have with me the Topping L30 headphone amp which I bought initially to prop up my interest in desktop music setup. Next in line is the E30 DAC which is no doubt the twin partner of the L30 and then...I chanced upon one of your videos. Since the Acrylic S10 is also a DAC it must be wise that I partner it with the L30 instead. My next purchase after the E30 would have been the Raspberry Pi but the S10 seems to be the better buy because it is DAC, has an app, a nice case and BT as well. That's half of what I could be spending. What do you think?

Speaking of budget, what do you think of Edifier S2000/3000 PRO? Maybe a review some time?
Pls just don't kill me for my curiosity! :)

Hi, iiwi. 
Thnx for your review. Im looking for something to hook my Adam t5v to .In order to have those wireless connectivity options. Do you think this Arylic s10 will do the job? Or maybe theres something better I can look for?

[tommons]

How does Arylic S10 compare to Echo Dot 3rd gen in sound as a streamer?

What dac is good fitting for KRK RP7 monitors?

Please do a review of the Douk Audio P1 Tube Preamp/DAC with bluetooth. I bought one recently and paired it with a matched pair of GE tubes. I am curious to your thoughts on it. The DAC on it sucks, but as a buffer preamp for headphones and speakers it adds that tube magic that everyone talks about. The harshness of some sounds are tamed, instruments sound more realistic, and warmth is added. It pairs extremely well with a better DAC. I have been using it with my LG V35 quad DAC using the short digital filter.

When using Spotify Connect with this, does it play back gaplessly?

[lacieb]

Does anyone know what this letter "Arylic" mean? Versions?? I'm not native English speaker.
Thanks for sturdy video!

[trevororr]

can this be used to connect to a sonos system? Id like to use to connect the Sonos turntable to my SL speakers.

[jonlaws]

If you open it up it has i2s connection so you can hook up to another dac..

[rvpl]

Can the line out be set to a fixed level?
