Thank you to ASR member, @john61ct for arranging for this sample Arylic LP10 to be measured by Amir.

I recently sold my old iPhone 6s for 50€. That would be orders of magnitude better and more convenient than this device.

I believe Arylic declared bankruptcy a while ago. Just wondering if the USB-A port is actually limited to 1024 songs or FOLDERS? FOLDERS would make more sense.

I could forgive analog performance at the 60's, most wouldn't notice it probably.

But this creates a new low with such a horrible digital performance at 2025.
Even PC's decent motherboards was streaming perfect digital audio streams 10-15 years ago!

Such a waste of components, even if they are the cheapest ones.

Thanks Amir!

Interesting that they moved on from Linkplay’s outdated A31 modules to what appears to be a Libre LS8 module.

Auralic is dead; Arylic is very much alive.

Also--is this the worst thing ever tested here?

thank you so much for the review, this is useful information

 

[Joe Smith]

Long live the WiiM Mini!

I must admit I'm surprised, considering that this shows up in my weekly email from Audioholics. It takes a real effort to get better analog performance than digital in a new product in 2025.

 

[phoenixdogfan]

Looked this product up on Amazon, and it had 80 reviews with an average of four stars, and 54% rated it five stars! The AI summary blurb said "Customers find the music streamer's sound quality amazing." Oh, well.

In any case, have to wonder if you received a defective unit. Even the cheapest of the cheap in this category ought to be hitting SINADs in excess of 80db. Maybe they need to pay closer attention to QA. Still, great review, Amir.

 

[Saponetto]

Holy moly, @amirm!
Thanks a lot for this appreciated review, I wasn't aware of -that- level of performance...
Maybe is it a defective unit?

 

[Rja4000]

See the review. I tested that and it is horrible.

Indeed.
And that is the most surprising.

This is really broken !

 

[Limopard]

Broken beyond belief. You can get a Wiim mini for just a few €/$/£ more, which at least is transparant via SPDIF out.

Thank you for the review, @amirm.
Did we really need to have votes for this thing?

Pics;

@JSmith, thank you for the internal photos.
Those pictures show a lot of components and even a secondary daughter-board: It's a shame that the "surgery was a success but the patient died!"

Thanx also go out to @john61ct, for sharing.
OT: How did you figure out who the member was?

 

[Scrivs]

What in the actual f@#k is this abortion of silicon and plastic?!?!
edit: added emphasis

 

[RogerSmith]

Must be for true audiophools with all the nice, warm and tubelike distorsion.

 

[DearSX]

It must have low quality tubes in side.

 

[Good Vibes]

Yikes, you see these devices and optimistically hope they could be a good option for the hobby. Thanks to Amir for protecting the community from what could be a total waste of money.

I stated so in the LP10 thread.

Now embarassed but hey better to know right?

This forum has saved me money, so now my turn to repay

I just killed the chance to sell it on

My daughter is no audiophile maybe she'll play with it.
