I just came across an interesting new product. It is a all-in-one streamer, of which more and more products are coming to market. With this one, I was surprised with the many possibilities.It's a streamer, an amplifier and a DAC. It's especially surprising to see how many connections, both wireless and wired, can be made. It's the Arylic B50, I think they just released it.
If you look at the backside, you get a first impression of it's versatility.
Normal list price is $139. - But in pre-ordering it can be bought for just $111.20 and comes with a remote control, 2 external antennas and a power supply.
Creating your own audio setup with this B50 is easy and versatile. It is even hybrid: analog/digital, wired/wireless combined.
For a quick overview I can recommend this video.

- For audio-in sources: Phono, Line-in (for many different options like TV/CD/etc.), USB. And sources can be connected both wired and wireless via Bluetooth.
- For output, wired speakers can be connected, even a subwoofer with its own connector. But also wireless Bluetooth speakers or Bluetooth headphones can be connected.

Too bad all these types of devices come with closed source firmware and proprietary cloud services and apps. This box is highly likely to run linux. If the operating system was in any way open to modifications I'd buy it in a heartbeat. But with this... What happens when the manufacturer moves on and discontinues the app and the cloud services around it? Probably not much, unfortunately.
