Bonjour encore! (was it Howard Carpendale who did the "denglish" transfer of it?) This morning I received a package from Arylic, again. Another sort of "Jack of All Trades", this time for Bluetooth Audio outside of the recent LDAC and Qualcomm APTx Lossless cosmos. I have agreed to review it bc the promise of it seems to be very interesting for many people looking for a wireless digital solution on a budget suiting existing gear. No high-end guaranteed, only sheer functionality. The device - called BP50 - was sold last week with an "Oktoberfest" Coupon for 79 Euros/USD. Today it is back on the MSRP of 99 Euro/USD, though I have heard that there will be ongoing promotions until Black Friday for the ones that think this device is far to expensive at an almost 3-digit price point. Hint: you can get a 10% welcome bonus on their website anyway. Short summary: I will create a test matrix with the BT/USB/Phono/Digital inputs vs. the BT/analog/digital outputs. Need to check with my neighbour's for the included HDMI Arc function. And have wait to receive my ANC/TWS devices ... nevertheless, that device is a crazy budget for what it aims to offer to us. This is just to offer an impression what you could expect in the class between 80 and 100 Euros ... here are some unpacking pics. Holy driver ... The device can be controlled by a more recent (like brand-new) app called GO, and be fine-tuned through an inhouse windows application called ACP workbench. Or you can use an old-fashioned remote control!
