Give The People What They Want- Arylic BP50 Review - HDMI, Pre Outs, Sub Out.... 

This is kind of a wild little preamp, tons of features and I feel like offering this up without the internal amp was the way to go. If your interested they are on sale now for 20% off.

This is a very cool, fully featured little pre-amp. Just add my own amp and streamer and DONE! Thank you, Matt!

Matt, really great job. I think that was your best video yet!

That bass joke was really nice!😂

Nice! This is what they're good at! I hope they keep improving the software, providing more (and better) features, like more bass management (crossover) frequencies you mentioned. Also maybe there will be a pro version with trigger in/out and coaxial in so i can connect my cd player 😀.

Another great review. Does outputs can be select by app or what every output which phigically connected and play ?

One of my ❤'S! Why am I seeing it so late though? I put this Arylic on my TV with the V3. HDMIarc FTW here! Also, got my A07 MAX units in... And that - reply coming forthwith. Good stuff!

Nice!

Good stuff Matt! I’m still not sure if I want to use something like this to replace the Amazon link amp I’m using for the basic upstairs setup or if I wanna go with a pair of powered speakers (like the vanatoo). Either way this was a good review to add to my usual list of way too much research before I finally decide, thanks!

Hi! Can you tell me if the BP50 preamp will take the BT signal from (not to) my laptop to the preamp?

When you reviewed this preamp did you test the Bluetooth transmit mode ? I just purchased one and cannot get this function to work. I have followed the directions but cannot get the headphones I’m transmitting to available in the device list in Spotify or Amazon music, any suggestions.

Which other hdmi dac’s are out there? I can’t seem to find any to pair with my powered speakers to connect to the tv. I don’t want to use a dac with optical in because I wan’t to be able to control the volume with my tv remote. Any options??

Does the unit graphically display volume? Always annoying to not know the volume before playing music

FYI the MAT020 code only works on the H50 not BP50.

Not bad at all! Would this be a reasonable choice as the DAC component in a budget set-up? e.g. vs an SMSL SU-1 or similar? I was thinking that plugging a chromecast into the HDMI would by itself provide streaming over wifi and give better sound than bluetooth. Anyone have thoughts on if this would work?

Now I am torn between the b50, or this bp50 with a fosi v3 amp for the soundbar replacement. 🤔

If you use RCA in ONLY (and out), you loose Access to all features/customization right? the APP and remote features ONLY work on the digital realm (when using internal dac), correct?

I am on my 3rd Arylic BP50 and they all are doing the same thing. Randomly no sound so I have to rest or turn off and back on then it is fine. Just never know when it will cut off sound. Funny thing the sub out still works when the sound goes out. Any Ideas ? This happens on all outputs.

good job. I'm determined to buy it but your discount code doesn't work

I am using a HP laptop I5 as source. HDMI out to tv HDMI in (non-smart tv). The Arylic connects from laptop by a USB C port to PC input on Arylic and Shows on unit display as DAC. @MattCoykendall1

A pre-amp only device is likely the best choice with everything else that's going on. I have always preferred to have the parts that change (dac, streamer, bt, etc.) separate from the parts that don't (power amp, turntable, etc.). At least then you don't have to change *everything* just to have the latest something. The increasing reliance upon 'Apps" is a bit concerning. As someone who does not have and would have no other use for a cellphone, this places a lot of functionality out of reach. I'm not about to buy something I don't want just to use something I do want. It's just a bit ridiculous. Of course the same problem exists with stuff you can't even turn on and off without the remote control... Really, who would make a TV/Display without a "standby" mode in it? But here we are. SMSL has the right idea with their clickable volume controls and built in displays... Hopefully the rest of the industry will take the hint.
