Audio Pro Link 2 is a compact WiFi and Bluetooth music streamer that turns any traditional stereo, amplifier or pair of active speakers into a modern, app-controlled, multiroom system. Made by the Swedish audio brand Audio Pro, it sells in India in 2026 for ₹39,000 at ProAudio Video and packs an unusually complete streaming toolkit into a box barely larger than a paperback: Apple AirPlay 2, built-in Chromecast (Google Cast), Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Bluetooth and Audio Pro’s own multiroom platform, all in one unit. If your amplifier or receiver still sounds great but has no network smarts, the Link 2 is designed to be the missing brain that brings it fully up to date.

This review is for the listener who owns a good analogue system — a stereo amp, an AV receiver, a turntable or a CD player — and wants seamless wireless streaming from a phone, laptop or NAS without replacing the gear they love. It is equally aimed at anyone building a whole-home Audio Pro multiroom setup who needs to bring a “dumb” zone online. Below we break down what the Link 2 does, how it sounds, how it connects, and whether ₹39,000 is money well spent for Indian buyers in 2026.

Sound Quality & Streaming Performance

As a source component, the job of the Audio Pro Link 2 is to receive a network audio stream — wirelessly or over Ethernet — and decode it cleanly into an analogue signal for your amplifier or active speakers, or pass it out digitally. It handles hi-res files up to 24-bit/96 kHz, comfortably beyond CD quality, and in practice the Link 2 delivers a clean, neutral, low-noise output that lets the character of your existing amp and speakers come through rather than colouring the sound itself. Streaming from Tidal and Spotify over the app is stable and gapless, and the dual-band WiFi keeps playback rock-solid even in a busy home network — a genuine advantage in Indian apartments crowded with 2.4 GHz devices.

Because it supports Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, AirPlay 2 and Chromecast, you almost never fight with a clunky first-party app: you just hit “cast” or “connect” from the music service you already use and the Link 2 appears as a target. That flexibility matters day to day. The trade-offs are clear and honest — there is no MQA unfolding for Tidal Masters and no Roon endpoint support, so dedicated audiophiles chasing the last few percent of resolution will look higher up the range. For the vast majority of listeners feeding a good stereo or powered monitors, the Link 2 sounds exactly as transparent as a streamer at this price should.

Build Quality & Design

The Link 2 is a small, understated rectangular unit measuring roughly 36 × 180 × 126 mm and weighing just 464 grams, finished here in a smart Dark Grey. It is designed to disappear — tuck it behind an amplifier, slot it onto a hi-fi rack, or sit it beside a turntable, and it takes up almost no space. The compact footprint is deliberate: this is meant to be an add-on brain for equipment you already own, not another large component demanding pride of place.

On the top surface sit four preset buttons, a genuinely useful physical touch that lets anyone in the house — including guests or family members who never open the app — launch a favourite internet radio station or playlist with a single press. Build quality is solid and typical of Audio Pro’s clean Scandinavian design language, with a tidy rear panel that keeps a surprising number of connections neatly arranged. It is not a flashy showpiece, but it is well made, sensibly laid out and built to run quietly in the background for years.

Features & Connectivity

Connectivity is the Link 2’s strongest suit. It offers four inputs and three outputs, covering an RCA analogue line input and output, coaxial digital, Toslink optical, Ethernet and a USB port, alongside wireless input over WiFi and Bluetooth. That RCA line-in is a standout feature: connect a turntable (via a phono stage), CD player or any analogue source and you can re-stream that sound wirelessly to Audio Pro multiroom speakers elsewhere in the house. The USB port plays music directly from a memory stick or an external hard drive, so a local library needs no computer to run.

On the network side you get three ways to stream wirelessly — Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast and Audio Pro’s own multiroom system — plus Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and Bluetooth 4.2. Everything is managed through the Audio Pro Control app over dual-band WiFi. This breadth means the Link 2 slots into virtually any household regardless of whether the family is on iPhones or Android, and it scales: buy one for the living-room amp today, add more zones later, and group them for synchronised whole-home audio. For ₹39,000, the sheer number of ways to get music into and out of this little box is what makes it compelling.

Value for Money in India 2026

At ₹39,000 from ProAudio Video, the Audio Pro Link 2 sits in the sweet spot of the streamer market in India in 2026. It costs a fraction of premium network players like the Bluesound Node while covering the streaming standards most people actually use, and it adds something those rivals often skip — an analogue input that pulls your existing turntable or CD player into a modern multiroom world. For anyone in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune or Chennai who already owns a capable amplifier or a pair of active speakers, the Link 2 is a low-risk, high-reward upgrade: it modernises a beloved system for far less than replacing it, and it holds its value as part of the wider Audio Pro platform.

Who Should Buy the Audio Pro Link 2?

✅ Buy it if you: own a good amplifier, receiver or active speakers and want modern streaming without replacing them; want AirPlay 2 and Chromecast in the same box so any phone works; own a turntable or CD player you want to re-stream to other rooms; are building or extending an Audio Pro multiroom system.

❌ Skip it if you: specifically need Tidal MQA decoding or a Roon endpoint; want the newest Bluetooth codecs for critical wireless listening; only need one simple Bluetooth speaker rather than a whole-system streamer.
