Arylic<\/strong> has quietly launched its latest broadcast amplifier, the LA150<\/strong>which brings a great improvement over the the LA50 has just been released<\/strong>. Most importantly for Apple users, the new model last AirPlay 2 support<\/strong>allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into existing AirPlay multi-room audio systems alongside HomePods, Apple TVs, and other compatible speakers.<\/p>\n Beside AirPlay 2, LA150 also supports Google Cast<\/strong>, Spotify Connect<\/strong>, TIDAL Connect<\/strong>, Qobuz Connect<\/strong>again Roon Ready<\/strong>making it one of Arylic’s most versatile amplifiers to date. Beyond streaming, however, the LA150 introduces a number of significant hardware upgrades over the LA50, including more than double the power of the amplifier<\/strong>built in MM\/MC phono stage<\/strong>extended cable connection, Bluetooth 5.4<\/strong> with high-resolution codec support, and a very capable rear I\/O panel.<\/p>\n Perhaps the biggest improvement comes in the amplification phase. While the LA50 delivers 50W per channel, the The LA150 increases this to 110W RMS per channel<\/strong>making it better suited for driving large floorstanding speakers or demanding bookshelf speakers. The amplifier is based on Texas Instruments’ well-regarded TPA3255 Class D amplifier chip, which has earned a strong reputation for delivering clean, efficient power to integrated hi-fi amplifiers.<\/p>\n Although published specifications list 110W for both 4\u03a9 and 8\u03a9 speakers, this is unusual, so we’ll wait for Arylic’s official documentation before confirming how those figures are measured.<\/p>\n While the LA50 is already offered HDMI ARC<\/strong>, USB audio<\/strong>, analog RCA input<\/strong>, optical input<\/strong>and a subwoofer output<\/strong>the LA150 significantly increases its connectivity.<\/p>\n The new model adds:<\/p>\n The addition of a built-in MM\/MC phono stage is invaluable, allowing users to connect a variety of turntables directly without requiring a separate phono preamp.<\/p>\n Bluetooth is also getting a big upgrade. The LA50 uses Bluetooth 5.0 with SBC and AAC support for audio. The LA150 migrates to Bluetooth 5.4, adding support for higher quality codecs including:<\/p>\n It can also transmit audio via Bluetooth using SBC, aptX, and aptX HD, providing great flexibility for headphones or wireless speakers.<\/p>\n Like the LA50, the LA150 continues to support the latest Arylic streaming platform, including:<\/p>\n This means that Apple users can integrate the amplifier into AirPlay 2 multi-room audio systems, while Android users benefit from Google Cast support.<\/p>\n A wireless network includes:<\/p>\n The LA150 is also physically larger than the LA50, measuring 215 \u00d7 65 \u00d7 245mm compared to the LA50’s enclosure of 148 \u00d7 148 \u00d7 43mm. That extra space accommodates a high-powered amplifier section and extended rear panel connections.<\/p>\n While the published details reveal a lot more than the original FCC filing, there are still a few details we’d like Arylic to clarify. The seller lists the AK7735 as a DAC, although this is actually an AKM digital signal processor rather than a standalone DAC, suggesting that this part of the description may have been listed incorrectly. Likewise, the published power figures warrant further clarification if Arylic releases its official spec sheet.<\/p>\n The LA50 remains an attractive choice for anyone looking for an affordable broadcast amplifier for a desktop or small listening room, but the LA150 is clearly intended for more serious hi-fi applications. With double the amplifier outputs, built-in MM\/MC phono stage, greatly expanded inputs and outputs, enhanced Bluetooth capabilities, and support for the same full range of streaming services, it represents a big step up from just the powerful version of the LA50.<\/p>\n Although the LA150 doesn’t appear to support Matter, that shouldn’t be a big deal for Apple users. Thanks to AirPlay 2, it can already be added to the Home app as a speaker, included in automations and scenes, and integrated with HomePods and other AirPlay 2 speakers for whole-home audio. For anyone already invested in the Apple ecosystem, that will be a very important feature.<\/p>\n On paper at least, the LA150 looks set to be Arylic’s most efficient integrated broadcast amplifier to date, offering a compelling alternative for anyone looking to combine traditional hi-fi with modern wireless streaming.<\/p>\n Although not yet listed on the company’s website, the LA150 has already appeared in some specialist HiFi stores, including MycHiFi, in Sweden.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Arylic has quietly launched its latest broadcast amplifier, the LA150which brings a great improvement over the the LA50 has just been released.
