Hello and Merry Christmas to you all!
On the day before Christmas Eve, it feels appropriate to share some news from the audio world. NuPrime, known for their innovative audio solutions, has recently launched two interesting products that can enhance everyday listening experiences. We take a closer look at the LP10 NuPrime Edition Music Streamer and ARC Mini, focusing on their features and how they can be integrated into a home audio system.
LP10 NuPrime Edition – A versatile music streamer
The LP10 NuPrime Edition is a compact music streamer that makes it easy to manage streaming from various sources. It supports protocols such as Spotify Lossless, AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and DLNA, which means you can stream music directly from your favorite apps without hassle. With its small size (108 x 72 x 26.6 mm) and weight of only 500 grams, it fits smoothly into most setups.
Key features include:
- Support for high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192 kHz, including formats like FLAC, WAV, and ALAC.
- Spotify Lossless, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, etc. - Control playback directly from your favorite apps for a personalized experience
- Multiroom functionality via AirPlay 2 and Google Cast, allowing you to synchronize playback across multiple devices, such as HomePod or Google Nest Audio.
- Connectivity options including dual-band WiFi (2.4 GHz/5 GHz), Bluetooth 5.2, Ethernet, and USB for local storage (up to 16 GB or 1000 songs).
- Outputs for both analog (3.5 mm mini-jack) and digital optical as well as NuPrime Digital Port via USB-C, where the LP10 can also receive power via compatible NuPrime devices.
Deeper functions are available via the Go Control app for iOS and Android. Simpler handling like changing tracks is done via the remote control or the buttons on top of the LP10.
Note! Connect apps such as Spotify, Tidal, and Qobuz run directly from their respective apps.
NuPrime ARC Mini – Extract sound from your TV with precision
For those who want to improve TV sound without losing quality, NuPrime presents the ARC Mini, an HDMI ARC converter. It extracts digital audio from your TV via HDMI ARC and then converts it so you can connect your amplifier or active speakers via optical, coaxial connection, as well as via USB-C Digital port (NuPrime devices).
By internally converting the signal to I²S with a dedicated master clock, jitter is minimized, contributing to a stable and clear audio transmission.
The product is extremely compact (87 x 22 x 59 mm) and weighs only 80 grams, making it easy to place discreetly behind the TV.
Here are some of its features:
- Input via HDMI ARC and support for PCM stereo up to 24-bit/192 kHz.
- Outputs include coaxial (S/PDIF), optical (Toslink), and NuPrime Digital Port.
- Easy installation: Connect via USB-C for power and connect to your audio system for an immediate upgrade.
The ARC Mini is a small gem for preserving the integrity of the audio signal, especially in setups where the TV’s built-in outputs are not sufficient for optimal performance.
In a time when we spend more time at home with family and friends, it feels extra nice to enjoy good sound. Have a really wonderful Christmas Eve and a peaceful holiday – with or without new gadgets! MERRY CHRISTMAS from us at Maxxteknik🎄
