Review on 🎢 Arylic WiFi and Bluetooth Receiver Audio Preamplifier Board: Wireless Multizone Home Stereo Music Circuit Module with Airplay, Spotify Connect, and Remote Control - DIY Speakers-Up2stream Mini V3 by Mike Davan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Is working. Easy setting. Heavy on the bass end. Noticeable lag.

I love these Up2Stream cards. I have one connected to my turntable with bluetooth and the mini is on my receiver in another part of the house. The small antenna that comes with the card can be an issue as the signal strength from the card is pretty weak, although my other electronics in the same room/area are getting a good signal. Music from a card connected to the player takes a long time to reach the mini player. Therefore, playing the player on the source while broadcasting to the miniplayer is a problem when both sounds are loud enough to be heard around the house. The music coming out of the Mini is pretty low-heavy - more highs are needed. I set up an equalizer on the board that does the sending and it didn't help. I'll keep playing with it but I'm not sure how happy I'll end up being with the setup I have. I would like to add one thing. I connected the Mini to the phono input of my receiver. I've tried plugging it into the aux jack and the sound is much better, not muddy, but it's quiet without the preamp. I tried this on two receivers. I think I'll have to run it through a small preamp and see how it sounds.
