| HiFi Rose RS250 Looks like the 150 is built like a tank. Does the upgraded 9038 and additional connection flexibility (HDMI ARC, XLRs, I2S, etc) justify the cost increase. It might for me... Consensus is that streaming functionality is the same for both units. ... | |
| HiFi Rose RS250 @trentmemphis - I was using wifi. | |
| HiFi Rose RS250 I had the RS 250 for about a month. Great unit. Decent build quality and loved the front panel look. Used it as a Roon endpoint and streamed Qobuz. Utilized the internal DAC and had it also connected to our LG TV (toslink). Feeding GaN bas... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Ok. Never was tube guy... I'm listening to my old UcD 700s with MiniDSP Dirac. Not bad. Wish I could do it with my Purifi's (Mike....???) Someone tell me that they have heard the new HiFi Rose RA180. Hope it gets to the US later this year. | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS @ Ric Please go away...your next post will let us all know that you have already modded an unreleased amp from Ralph. Everything is better...peace on Mars The GaN stuff is pretty good. I have a Class D Audio for a secondary system and it comes p... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka -Thanks for your feedback. Lots of different parameters that can affect the sound. For me, I rely on good conductors, low mass connectors (or no connectors), and secure connections. Rather be listening to music than pondering all the ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka - I always wanted to understand the signal flow and what is claimed to be directional wire. I know when you get to OCC quality the wire is drawn/produced in a certain way and there is a consensus that signal flow should follow that d... | |
| Suggestions for an integrated upgrade please @scotthiga Curious what version you purchased? Are the newer M2s available yet? | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? Hi Steve, Good stuff. I’m now trying to eliminate as much of the cabling as possible. Trust me as an engineer, less is more. I’m sure you understand the KISS. I have transitioned to a streaming front end, no more tubes/vinyl...sorry. I still lo... | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? I tell my kids to experiment and evaluate. You should do the same. Grain of salt with some of the AG folks that tell you otherwise. Do your own due diligence. For me after many years, good conductors, good connectors (or no connectors), sec... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? Interesting thread that has me contemplating my next builds. I have primarily used Canare 4E6S for most of my recent RCA/XLRs. I do feel having double conductors does provide a performance boost. May have to look at larger AWG as it seems to h... | |
| Rose RS250 Streamer/Dac? 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. | |
| Hifi Rose RA180 Yep. Just bought their RS250 from MusicDirect. Hoping this integrated gets added to their portfolio. | |
| Rose RS250 Streamer/Dac? I just received my 250. Looking forward to seeing how it performs. On paper this looks like a wonderful streamer/DAC. I'm replacing an Evo 150 (had problems with two units and the screen randomly locking up). Over the last couple of years ha... | |
| HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES Here are my thoughts on bi-wiring. I guess if you are going to do it, use the same type of cabling that you have from the amp/amps. From there, you now have to deal with what type of connectors (or lack of) and be ready for all the opinions that ... |
