Rose RS250 Streamer/Dac?


Hi--have any of you had any experience with the new Rose RS250 Streamer/Dac? Looks cool, but how does it sound?

Hi Daniel,

Sorry.  I no longer use Tidal.   Tried it for awhile and prefer Qobuz.

Still trying to get acclimated with all of the features.   This could be a fantastic front end.

 

 

 

@Dandion - you are incorrect. Spotify connect is available on the RS250.

I have had the RS250 for a few days connected to my Directstream DAC via USB and using Roon.  Seems to sound better than the Bridge II but will need to do more testing.

What i meant is the Spotify application is not built-in the rs250 while Tidal and Qobuz applications are already there in the RS250. However and  like you, i can stream music in the rs250 by using Spotify connect with my cell phone.  

  I must use the Rose connect application to stream music with Tidal.

I am going to try adding SATA SSD in the dac shortly..

Second firmware upgrade in 2 months,  Those engineers at Hifi rose are not sleeping! 😁

I own the Big Brother RS150B and previously had the RS250. 

They both sound similar. The only real difference is size, XLRs and price. 

If given the choice... I will pick the RS250 and save half the money.
