Perfect little amp, shame about the wifi.

  • Small
  • Good sound
  • Dyn loudness
  • Wifi is hopeless

I've been using the wxa 50 for a few months now, I thought it was time to share my experience.
It is a small device with very good sound and support for almost all streaming audio.
Have looked at many different devices, some were also almost perfect except for the bluetooth support, which this wxa 50 does have.
The wxa met most of my requirements, and it is almost a perfect product except for the WiFi connection.
Had it first connected via the WiFi, although the router (Rax80 WiFi 6) is only 3 meters away, but that is really hopeless, even with all my devices on a fixed IP, it loses its network connection very often.
With a network cable connected it goes well, but connecting stably to the network is not possible without a cable, especially with audio products or something.
Are these obstacles out of the way, the wxa50 is really nice stuff, it also has a dynamic loudness that boosts the bass and treble at lower volumes, indispensable on an amplifier I think.
There are focal aria 905 bookshelf speakers connected to it, which play very nicely on this amplifier, although you can control much larger speakers with it without any problems.
I think the wxa50 is a must, but see if you can connect it with a network cable that will save you a lot of hassle.

A different way to listen to music and with excellent sound quality. Almost everything is available with a subscription to Qobuz. Now go exploring. All other carriers can go back into the closet, this replaces the previous one.
