Arylic S10+ AirPlay Audio Receiver, Multiroom Stereo with SPDIF Out, WiFi & Bluetooth Music Streamer, streams HD lossless music from Spotify, Amazon Music,Tidal etc, Black

What a great solution to my problem. My stereo receiver used to have spotify integration. Over the years, it would no longer connect. I just wanted a seamless solution to turn on spotify and listen to it on my surround sound system. Enter the Arylic S10+ to save the day. Easy to hook up, and very easy to connect my phone to, to stream spotify to my receiver once again. Simple product that elegantly solve the issue I was experiencing, and allows me to enjoy my speaker system again! 5 Stars.

I ordered the Arylic S10+ to see how it compares to my Wiim streamers. For the price, this presents a compelling alternative. After a couple of weeks of use, I can confidently say that this device gets most things right with its impressive value and features.Out of the box, you are provided with most of what you need. The streamer is relatively small, sitting between the Wiim Mini and Wiim Pro in size. On the back, you will find a reasonable IO including an RJ45 jack. At the price point, this is a welcome feature not found on the competing Wiim Mini. Another added feature is a USB port. While I have not personally used this feature, it is something not available on any other streamers I own. This may be useful for those who hold their media files on a drive, and not on a network-attached device. One final accessory of note is the provided remote control. Competing devices require the remote to be purchased as an accessory, or as part of a bundle. The Arylic provides you with a remote inbox which is a very nice addition. One caveat to this is that it is an IR remote, and not a Bluetooth remote as can be purchased from competitors. This may be superfluous as you will likely be using the downloadable app for full functionality.The App (4STREAM) is almost identical to the Wiim App that I was familiar with. The S10+ even shows up in the Wiim APP and can be controlled from within the APP. That being said, the adjustability of the s10+ is much less robust than the competing streamers. Not in a detrimental way necessarily, but it is noticeable. The fact that the app follows similar protocols is a welcome sight and makes operating the streamer very convenient. Overall, I am happy with the app as it is very familiar to me.There are two potential sound outputs. One via a 3.5mm jack, and the other output via Toslink (optical) cable. For the best sound quality, Arylic recommends using the optical out which was the method I used. If you do use optical, ensure that it goes into a DAC that is capable of reclocking the signal as jitter over optical can be an issue. The sound out of the streamer regardless of output was good. It functioned best when redirected to my SMSL DAC, but it was more than acceptable for casual listening when using more modest gear. I do wish that a COAX output was provided as it would eliminate most of the issues with jitter. One final gripe. I do wish they provided more technical specs for the product. Knowing what DAC chip is being used as well as distortion numbers is essential information for audio enthusiasts and would help greatly for gear-pairing purposes.In summary, the S10+ presents a compelling value option in the steaming audio space. If you have a large personal music collection, or stream music to your stereo consistently, then I can highly recommend this device. It gets more than enough right to make it one of the best values under one hundred dollars and should be on any budget-minded audiophile's shortlist.

I wanted an easier to use audio streamer and this one has a surprisingly clean design and sounds adequately good. I've only been using the 3.5mm output but the optical out port is available if I decide to run a DAC into some nicer speakers but for the time being it's routed to a small set of self powered speakers. The app is easy to use but only time will tell if it holds up since many app-dependent devices tend to die after the app is taken down or is broken and abandoned with updates.

I've never used a Wiim streamer but this, I hear, is a budget alternative to those.I tried it. It works very well. I found the user interface clumsy but with practice, manageable. I can play my Spotify tunes directly to headphones or hook to an amp, and it works perfectly well. I have it hooked now to my stereo (ha ha, does anyone call a sound system a "stereo"?) and it's a nice, trouble-free music player. There is a remote control and if you need more control, the app is ok. And there are buttons on the device itself (yay! So many devices are remote-only these days). This would be perfect for a dorm room, a workroom/office, maybe a studio.

What an improvement over the Arylic S10. For me, the addition of the optical digital out is what makes this streamer competitive with the Wiim Mini.I like the buttons on the top which not only have short-press functionality but also long-press functions, as well. The front LED icons are far superior to the S10 and dust the Wiim, which has no display.If you prefer, you can use a wired Ethernet connection instead of the WiFi connection, which you can't do with the Wiim Mini.I haven't yet listened to the Arylic's internal DAC, not have I listened to the Wiim Mini's DAC, which I have 2. I have these streamers connected to Topping DACs at different locations and both sound the same feeding their streams to the same 2 Topping E30 model.For the price, with the Arylic S10+ you get a more refined design, more connectivity options, more top button functions, and a remote control that's very functional and not thrown in for marketing purposes. Even though I have 2 Wiim Minis, If the Arylic was available when I bought the Wiims, I would have definitely opted for the Arylic S10+. More for Less.

The Arylic S10+ AirPlay Audio Receiver promised a seamless multiroom audio experience, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The setup process was complicated, and I experienced frequent connectivity issues with both WiFi and Bluetooth. The sound quality was decent when it worked, but the constant dropouts and buffering made it frustrating to use. For the price, I expected a more reliable and user-friendly device.
