If you’re tired of stacking boxes just to make your hi-fi system behave like it’s living in 2025, Arylic has an answer. The new LP100 is a compact network streamer that looks innocent enough—but once you plug it in, it quickly reveals itself as a full-blown audio command center.

Streaming? Covered. Vinyl? Absolutely. TV audio? No problem. Bluetooth in both directions, including LE Audio and Auracast? Yep. The LP100 isn’t here to do one thing well—it’s here to do everything without taking over your living room.

Serious Sound Under the Hood

Behind the playful versatility sits a proper audio engine. Arylic builds the LP100 around an AKM AK4493SEQ DAC, supported by an SRC CT5302SL and AKM7735 ADC/DSP. Translation: clean, modern AKM sound with enough processing muscle to handle PCM up to 24-bit/192 kHz without breaking a sweat.

The Arylic LP100 is a new network audio streamer designed for use with modern streaming services and a variety of digital and analog sources.

On the streaming side, the LP100 speaks every important language: AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Roon Ready, DLNA, and UPnP. Whether you’re an iPhone user, a Roon obsessive, or someone who just hits “play” in Spotify, the LP100 fits right in. Dual-band Wi-Fi and Ethernet make sure the connection is as solid as the feature list.

Bluetooth, But Make It Future-Proof

Bluetooth on the LP100 isn’t an afterthought—it’s a headline feature. This is Bluetooth 5.4 with two-way support, meaning the LP100 can both receive and transmit audio. Want to stream from your phone? Easy. Want to send audio wirelessly to headphones or speakers? Also easy.

Codec support reads like a wish list: SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX Adaptive, LDAC, and LC3. Add Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast, and suddenly the LP100 feels more like a next-gen wireless hub than a traditional streamer.

From Turntable to TV, No Extra Boxes Needed

Here’s where things get really fun. The LP100 includes a built-in phono preamp that supports both MM and MC cartridges. Yes, MC. That means you can plug a serious turntable straight in—no external phono stage required.

Then there’s HDMI eARC. Connect the LP100 to your TV, and it instantly becomes the bridge between streaming services, movies, games, and your hi-fi system. HDMI CEC support means volume and power control can sync automatically, making the LP100 surprisingly family-friendly.

Add analog line inputs, USB inputs, coaxial and optical digital inputs, a dedicated subwoofer output, and suddenly this tiny box starts replacing half your rack.

The LP100 features two-way Bluetooth 5.4 with support for SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, aptX LL, aptX AD, LDAC, and LC3, including LE Audio and Auracast, allowing it to be used as both a receiver and a transmitter.

Arylic doesn’t force you into a single control method. The LP100 can be operated via the Go Control app, an IR remote, Siri, Google Assistant, or directly through your TV thanks to HDMI CEC. However you like to interact with your system, the LP100 adapts.

Despite all this, it stays refreshingly compact. Powered via USB-C and weighing just over half a kilo, the LP100 disappears visually—until you realize how much gear it just replaced.

The Arylic LP100 isn’t trying to be a purist audiophile component—and that’s exactly why it works. It’s built for real people with real setups: vinyl on the weekend, Spotify on weekdays, TV at night, headphones after everyone’s asleep.

It’s small, smart, slightly rebellious, and way more capable than its size suggests. If modern hi-fi is supposed to be fun again, the LP100 feels like it got the memo.

Key highlights at a glance:

  • Network streamer with AKM DAC (24-bit / 192 kHz)
