@williewonka - Added a pic to my system folder.   I paired based on "adjacent".  Although, based on the quad twist, it might actually look like opposite?? I do have some Viborg solid core OFC PCs. At some point I'll try a solid sore OCC Helix ver...

Steve - Yes. I had some older star quad and figured why not try build a Hybrid Helix PC... The Star Quad construction utilizes 4 conductors in a "Star Quad" geometry that has even better self-shielding than a simple twisted pair. Each of the 4 wi...

Rose Hifi Network Streamer RS150
I'm sure If some asked me to take a bet and try to tell the difference between these two versions.....I would lose. I continually try telling myself that I could.   Sorry for asking.   I'm sure Rose has implemented the ESS to sound as good as the... 
Rose Hifi Network Streamer RS150
@rj20five good to hear a your thoughts on the newer ESS version. @raysmtb1  I believe you have the original model with the AK chipset. Curious to know if there is a performance difference? I had the RS250 for a short time. I sent it back to due...
