Hi everyone !
I am new in this forum, and also in diy audio, so sorry in advance if there is a lack of technical informations/measures.
I would like to show you my first speaker build.
I must admit that after beginning to design a cabinet with speakerboxlite.com I found this article and chose to copy this design (for the technical part) since it was made with the full range drivers that I intended to use (the Dayton RS100-4).
My goal was to make small enough speakers with a small amplifier and a DAC to put on my desk and use them on my PC.
Since I didn’t like the design of the front panel with two ports, I changed the design a bit to cover them with fabric in a single slot.
For the amplifier / DAC part, I found the Up2stream Amp v3 from Arylic which turned out to be just perfect for me since it includes a DAC with Wifi, ethernet, bluetooth and usb inputs, plus a mini-jack analog input. It’s sold without a case, so I could do the design of my choice.
I have no measurements of the frequency response, but I can say that it was a big improvement over my Audioengine A2+ (It’s also not exactly the same size) and that I’m now just waiting for an opportunity to get into a new project.
I hope you’ll like it, well, at least the look since I didn't really design the rest of it ;-)
Some "not so nice" picture while it was made :
And some better photos made once it was finnished :

Actually there is an EQ, but you have to buy ACPWorkbench wich let you customize the Up2stream from your PC by adding filters and other things that I didn't took the time to check in details.
For the filter inside of the cabinet, I copied the filter found in the article on werner007.de
I draw it in Virtuix to see the effect, and it's apprently lowering the frequencies arround 3kHz in order to have a flatter frequency response curve.

Actually I'm mostly using the USB input since they are connected to my PC on my desk, but I'm sometime using the Wi-Fi input with DS Audio (synology's app) to read musics stored on my NAS or with Spotify.
Yes, the 4Stream App let you control multiple Arylic devices, but since I only have one for now, I never tried that ;-)
Hi !
If you're speaking of connecting to youtube via Wi-Fi as with a chromecast, then no, you can't. But there is also the bluetooth so it shouldn't be a problem.
You can do multiroom, but I have no idea about the latency, and the max number of devices. They say that you can setup 10 zones, but I don't know if you can have multiple devices in one zone.
I think that it is compatible airplay, but I'm not sure about airplay 2 ...
They do sell finnished products. You cna check their wesite, the "DIY audio boards" are not the onnly products, there is also some Wireless streamers, preamplifiers and amplifiers. All of them have the same wireless functions.
