Congrats, @milpai on your T+A 200 dac.
Does it sound better direct or through your separate pre-amp?
Thanks in advance.

HiFi Rose RD160 DAC
Was starting to look for a new DAC to replace the Oppo UDP 205 that I have been using as a DAC, when I came across the HiFi Rose RD160. I am really interested because it uses a AKM chip rather than the same old ESS. Yeah, I know chip does not matter and implementation matters and yada yada....
But this along with the T+A DAC 200 and Bricasti M3 are interesting to me. Let’s keep this thread as a placeholder and report back when some folks demo it somewhere.

Thank You @jon2020 I will not be using the DAC as a preamp. |
I own a rs130 and rd160 combination. I can tell you the SFP connection is superior to USB. The overall sound quality is simply stunning. I also have a Weiss dac and McIntosh Ma352 in my second system, and the Hifi Rose is leagues ahead, the technology is newer, better, and offers thrilling detail retrieval, dynamics, and effortless control that gives some of the best bass I’ve heard in my system . my setup rs130-rd160-ra180(biwired) nova 2 - SR srx and Galileo power cords and looms SR powercell 14 , SR tranquility base x 4 , solid tech sound of silence |
