HiFi Rose 250A issues with app & setting up


Hi Gang, I just got a 250A fron Crutchfield which sounds wonderful when it plays but stops randomly & app is not working properly. I can only get to my Qobuz playlist using the units touch screen, but the app will only play a partial of my playlist. I have it hooked up using wi-fi which has a very strong signal 260 mbps or better so I know it’s not that issue. I have had 2 techs from crutchfield try to help me with no resolution as well. They just want me to return the unit & buy a different brand stating they think its a software issue & I should contact Rose to try & resolve if I want to keep it. You can’t speak to Rose on the phone as the only source of contact is by email which has been useless. I’ve tried re-downloading the Rose &  Qobuz app several times along with resetting the streamer per Rose’s advise, but I still have the same issue. I should also mention that recently in a quest for a streamer I have set up a Cambridge, Wiim, Bluesound Icon streamers with no issues. The Rose sounds the best by far & I would want to keep it if I could get it to work properly. Please help if you can. Thanks

Personally I don’t have patience for stuff like this and hope you find a solution, but several others here have been underwhelmed by the Rose software, and that their support for a unit at this price level is basically nonexistent is inexcusable IMO.  If it was me I’d say the writing is on the wall and send it back and get this used Innuos Pulse for about the same price and be done with it.  It likely sounds at least as good as the Rose and comes with their outstanding Sense app and customer support, and I believe this reputable dealer takes returns so very little risk to try.  Life’s too short to deal with crap like this and be left twisting in the wind when so many other excellent options are available.  Best of luck.
