Arylic LP10 issues

I recently purchased an LP10 streamer and find it amazing in terms of its overall range of functions.

However, I have noticed a few annoying issues:

  1. Hardware/firmware

  • There does not appear to be a standby mode—either the device is completely off, which means it is no longer visible on the network and cannot be controlled remotely, or it is permanently on, which means that the connected DAC is also permanently on because it is constantly receiving an optical signal.

  • The sample rate from the optical output always corresponds to 88.2 kHz for source data with 44.1 kHz (determined on the Topping D50s DAC).

  • The sample rate from the optical output always corresponds to 96 kHz for source data with 192 kHz or 48 kHz (also determined on the Topping D50s DAC).

I think that there should actually be no change in the sampling rate of the source signal at the optical output.

  1. Go Control app (Android version)

  • Many of the internet radio stations from “ArylicRadio” and “YouRadio” do not work at all, there are far too few of them and there is no search function.

  • When connecting to my UPnP DLNA server via the “NAS PLAY” function, only a fraction of the actual content is displayed. Other DLNA clients (in FrontierSilicon devices or software such as VLC or BubbleUPnP) that I use do not have this problem; they display and play all content.

  1. Integration in general
  • A reasonable HomeAssistant integration (e.g., to read the status of the device, such as “device starts playback”) does not seem to be possible. Perhaps this would have been possible via “LinkPlay,” but the LP10 does not seem to support this.

It would be really nice to see these issues resolved in future versions of the LP10 firmware and Go Control app!
