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 Scott Ward

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Changed. My. Life. for home audio

I don't know what others are doing with these little boards but I use them to combine, sync and make widely available all the speakers, amps and audio monitors I have in my apartment to make for Spotify, Pandora, Rune, my Nvidia Shield, Laptop, Phone, Alexa, Ableton Live. I have no doubt that a house full of Sonos, Bose or other multi-room audio gear will sound great, but not only is it too expensive for me even if I could afford it, all of these platforms are not agnostic and are constantly trying to to propel you into their universe; inevitably (by design) not work seamlessly with competitors. So, IDK, how would it sound here, but. If you've never synced 3 or 4 pairs of speakers around your house for sound to play everywhere, I swear you have no idea! It's freaking AMAZING. It's not that I have several thousand watt audiophile gear as you can see in the photos, I have some old Bose bookshelves, Pyle PA, another old 2.1 bookshelf (Harmon Kardon: the one with the transparent subwoofer) . Some Chinese preamps. colorful equipment, of course, but EVERYTHING TOGETHER? breathtaking. For real. have to try. Previously I tried to achieve multiroom audio with Bluetooth or Soundseeder but it always ended up out of sync. Now I have no problems. (**Please note: When I ordered from Revain it was the up2Stream mini v2 and it did NOT include a case, just the plastic packaging which as you can see I used to assemble the board. I found the Thingaverse to be oddly wise lacks relevant designs for the case but I recently ordered version 3 directly from the acrylic website and they included an acrylic case so IDK if that was added and Revain has them now.!)
