The Arylic B50 is the cheapest product I have seen to date that offers HDMI ARC. Yes, its another little class D amp but I feel like this HDMI feature is really interesting. Large companies have mentioned they left out HDMI in some of their premium products as it would add too much to the price, I think we now know that is false....

Please consider giving a thumbs up and subscribe, let's grow this channel together! A couple thoughts: Isn't it interesting that a lot of manufacturers tell us they cant add HDMI because of costs yet we are seeing it in a product under 150 dollars? What's another feature you would like to see offered in more products today?

New law of audio. Everything has to have VU meters. LOL

Great Vid, thanks. If I connect this thing via ARC to my TV while also having 2 speakers connected... After switching everything OFF with the toggle switch of my socket and then turning it on again, is the ARC-connection still active? Want to "set it and forget it". Just turn everything off/on via toggle switch, use my TV remote and never have to deal with the amp again. Is that possible?

Finally the review I've been waiting for. I ordered B50 few days ago. I think the feature set is just amazing! It 100% fits my personal needs (typically for someone who wants 2.0 (or 2.1 !) soundbar alternative). I was looking for something versatile with HDMI ARC. This really is. There are really not that many of them in the market right now. I had a 10+ years old stereo DENON amp. It's been amazing, however many time it was just turned off because it needed to be turned off and on separately of TV (you know)... ARC solves this. I personally don't miss the streaming platform that much together with this amp, but I fully agree if it was there it might have been the TOP! Only hope that audio quality is "ok enough". Thanks! Cheers....

Certainly a lot of features jammed in this one, soundbar alternative is spot on especially for those that already have some passive speakers laying around. Hope you enjoy it!

Outstanding as always Matt. I got a B50 and love it. It's currently going head-to-head against an SMSL A300 to be my desktop amp of choice. Thank you and keep up the great work.

@MattCoykendall1 Жыл бұрын

Sounds like a fun comparison. I just noticed you can run those A300’s in a monoblock configuration.

Great review. You mentioned the amp chip as being the ACM 3129a. Are there any specs available for that chip? Some of the other reviews mention that power is a little lacking. I guess a work around for the lack of power would be to use ACP workbench to reduce the lower bass being sent to the stereo channels and compensate with the sub-woofer output. In my opinion the ACP DSP is the standout feature of this amp as it allows the sound of your system to be tuned precisely.

Great review. I just bought LG OLED C3 TV and I would like to use my yamaha active speakers (2.1 setup). The new TV doesn't have analog output so I was looking for a way to connect TV hdmi eARC to my active speakers. Do you think this device would work considering it's an amplifier also?

I think so too, especially for the price.

I use mine with a Wiim mini, a pair of Kef q150s, and a Kc62 sub. For a bedroom 2.1 setup I think it's awesome.

I have a jvc tv with hdmi ten years old with a Firestick Amazon 4K can I use this device as a dac. And amp and use the arylic to do the volume and on and off switching so I don’t have to use two remotes

Hi Matt, thanks for the great review. I have a question and would appreciate it if you or someone else could answer it. Is it possible to connect the TV to the B50 via Optical and then connect the soundbar to the B50 via HDMI eARC to output the sound to the soundbar? I know I could connect it directly, but I just want to connect all the devices to the B50 so sound could go out to soundbar.

Arylic is apparently integrating last year's technology, using chips much cheaper that the latest model. This is smart because that older tech still provide value. This product is not for Atmos users, so eARC would be useless. I am thinking of buying the BP50 (preamp). The weak point might be the DAC (I doubt I would hear the difference), but the digital output might provide an upgrade path, assuming that it does not bypass the real value of this equipment: the extensive set of preamp features.

@shawnjohnson7680 Жыл бұрын

This should really just be a dac/preamp instead of having the built in speaker amp. I’d buy it in a heartbeat. I hope wiim makes a new Wiim pro with hdmi arc. It’d be the perfect device.

yeah...I dont disagree there, I wouldn't mind this.

Hello, I bought the Arylic B50. And no matter what I do, I notice a whooshing noise that only occurs as soon as I play sound through whatever input source. Can anyone help?

Hey Matt, currently thinking about buying this over my Sabaj A4 because I Kinda miss the ARC - since I am overall satisfied with the Sound of the A4, is it comparable (or maybe even better) than the A4?

@MattCoykendall1 10 ай бұрын

I haven’t had in that Sabaj so it wouldn’t be fair to comment but I totally understand the HDMI

@timharbert7145 Жыл бұрын

Ah, man. No line outs! With the software add on for the EQ, this sounds like it could have been a killer pre-amp!

@MattCoykendall1 Жыл бұрын

Yeah line outs would really be something, we did get the hdmi arc though so it’s definitely moving in the right direction.

@starker1971 10 ай бұрын

Is this the only Chi-Fi so far that offers the ARC functionality ? I wish to replace my parents sound bar, but I need something that responds to the TV's commands. I think I may need more wattage over numerous other features.

@MattCoykendall1 10 ай бұрын

It is currently, arylic offers 2 amps with arc and 1 pre amp
