single 3 Pin Balanced XLR output for Balanced Stereo?

I think AudioCast is based on LinkPlay technology same as WiiM, Arylic, SongBird and Octavia amongst a whole bunch of others. It probably needs updated as WiiM is leading the way in LinkPlay technology and capturing marketshare.

I think Hedd are on to a winner here, i have the original Hedd's as my daily use headphone, weight hasn't bothered me but from multiple reviews it has put off a lot of listeners without them getting a chance to really appreciate the Hedd's. Another complaint was the 'Crinkle' when moving your...

I kind of got what Rob was talking about here, he himself admits that a signal at -300 dB should not be audible but i believe what he was meaning was the not the actual sound level was audible but the effect at that level was audible in the perception of depth and positioning, not volume. I...

It is, sounds great, much lighter and better headphone attachment giving a superior variable support. I think they should do well as the biggest criticism on the old Hedd was the weight, that’s no longer an issue. High-end: Chord Dave + M Scaler --> Primavera tube amp --> I agree absolutely...

You can go wireless using Airplay with the Arylic.

In Regard to the HEDD 'Crinkle'; I've had a pair for about 9 months now and the only crinkle I get is when putting them on/taking off. I can sit with them on for hours at a time every day, leaning over my computer, turning around to adjust the amp, looking up and around searching for stuff and...

Yes good solution if you have chromecast but until they release a new one we need a bunch of alternative options. I hear that new hi res chromecast is being talked about. Currently I have attached my phonostage output to my Arylic analog input, it then digitises it as 16/44.1 and streams it to...

perfect!!!! I use a Hedd so weight of closed back Sundara will be like a feather

Closed Back Sundara can you expand on first impressions?

Oh....... The Rose is at the top of my 'If i win the Lottery' Purchase list. in the meantime i'll just have fun with Arylic streamers and Raspberry Pi streamers until that day happens (soon please......)

It will be interesting to see if this new chromecast audio device actually appears. Strange that they pulled out of Audio Streaming when it was gaining favour. It’s a bit like Logitech dropping the squeezebox.

Are you talking about the Chromecast being a convenience solution? The Arylic Up2Stream HD Dac is very much a Hifi/ Audiophile device with its handling of 192/24 bit streams, the other Arylic devices handle 192/24 but downsize to 44.1/16 so you could say that even CD players aren’t Audiophile...

I have experience with a couple of Arylic Up2Stream devices; the S10, the Mini V3 and recently the HD DAC and I’ve been very impressed with the sound quality, the versatility and functionality and price of these little devices. I even bought a few S10’s to give to the family to encourage their...

Chromcast audio devices are out of production are they not, so your relying on eBay more or less.

Hi, Take a look at the current range of Arylic devices; these are amazing little devices at low price for what they do. Some of them are easily available on Amazon. Take the S10 for example it handles up to 192/24 streams(but will output them as 44.1/16), it will connect via network cable or...

I already have some experience with the Products from Arylic, the S10 and the Mini V3 pcb. They all accept Hi Res Files (not DSD) up to 192 but then down-sample to 44.1KHz/16bits. I was mightily impressed by the flexibility of these pocket money streamers (pocket money in terms of Audiophile...

Is Fidelizer good? Would you recommend it over Lurker?

Should do because you can select different headphone impedance; 0-32 32-64 65-150 151-300 600

Yes definitely give it a go. I’ve been listening to Amazon music and my own files streamed, I set up a Spotify free account and overall I’m pretty impressed. Ok so it takes up to 24/192 and down samples them to 16/44.1 but hey so what most 24/192 is really boosted 16/44..1 anyway (shh don’t tell...

Hi a lot of the light is actually coming from decorative leds under the valves to enhance the ‘glow’. I have one led that’s completely off and other folks have mentioned faulty leds after a while. For this decorative Led failing issue there will be no Sonic effect.

Hi. Standard practice is just turn Volume down and change headphones over (its also Better Keeping Valve Amp for increased stability of sound). There are only a few Amps where powering off is recommended, if using Jack connections e.g. SPL Phonitor 2. Hope this helps.

The Little Box of Tricks on far Right is the Arylic S10, it does just about everything the BlueSound node 2i does (if you forgive the input up to 24/192 being output at 44.1/16 bit) for less than $100 or £70. Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music, Qobuz, DLNA, Tunein. Foobar via Pc to usb Bluetooth, Aux...

Low impedance headphones give hiss. valve amps can never be totally silent for several reasons mostly to do with temp changes affecting valves. My Cayin with the stock valves was noisy, cleaning the contacts with Deoxit gold helped but what really helped was new Valves. I used PSVanes. if you...
