I have a BP50 and it works really well in my use case. I use Line input probably 90% of the time to feed my TV to my power amp and speakers. The TV optical out connector is messed up so I use the RCA outs. I have had BP50 for about 2 months, about a month in use the Line indicator stopped lighting up. All other input modes still show up but not Line.
Occasional I use BT mode to listen to audio from my iPhone, but not that often.
Has anyone else had a problem with the display?
if what you are saying is that the front white LED input lights dim after prolonged power, then yes
i used mine mainly as a DAC so it was always on PC =DAC input
and i sometimes left it on overnight and yes the front panel LED is noticeably less bright
they are using poor quality LEDS
a way they could limit this is have the unit auto off the display after say 10 secs, could do it in firmware
but overall I mean if this is the quality of their $80 product then it does not bode well for their more expensive stuff
What I am seeing is that all inputs - Phono, Optical, ARC and BT - light up. Line does not light up at all that selection LED is just dead.
you have a burnt out led?
I have also had the same issue. My DAC input LED started going out about a month after I first purchased my BP50 in September '23. Arylic replaced my unit in October, but now my DAC input indicator has almost completely burned out, and the OPT and LINE indicators are also visibly dimmer than the other less used inputs. I’m going to reach out to them again about replacement, but seeing as this likely wasn’t a one-off I’m regretting my choice to purchase the BP50.
I also experienced the same thing. My BT light indicator has dimmed. Used less than 1 month. Because I often use the input connection from Bluetooth.
Sending or filing a warranty is impossible for me. Because I have to send the goods and it is expensive in shipping. I intend to replace it myself.
Very bad experience for arylic QC.
Very disappointing.
Looks like I have the same issues with mine… only that it’s the optical input. Could you briefly describe how you changed it?
You only need a size 0805 led. I got it in an online shop. Various colors you can choose. Because the Bluetooth indicator is problematic, I prefer to replace the default white LED with blue.
At least you understand how to use a heating tool to remove a damaged LED. It requires patience and precision, because the size of the 0805 LED is very small.
