New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport
@dhungana, hmm. Have you tried DSD over DoP, or only Native? Also, do you have the RS130 set up with volume control enabled?

may not be a great pair with the RS130 all PCM design, considering I will not be able to do a direct DSD source to DAC @dhungana, I’m not sure if I’m reading this correctly. The RS130 does do native DSD out if configured to do so.

@dogberry, which SUT if you don’t mind my asking? I’m using the same cart while SS is looking at my Benz LP-S. I have it loaded at 825 Ohms with my XP-17 and I’m enjoying it very much.

Maybe I should have said yes, it is somewhat pricey. My first response doesn’t read well. 🙂  
Eversolo v. HiFi Rose
Understood. It’s not a cheapie.

Simple, if you need a DAC and don’t have one, get the RS250. Otherwise get the RS130. It’s a darned good streamer.

Not at all. Nor am I saying they don’t matter at all. At this year’s AXPONA I attended Galen Gaeris’ tech talk, where he explained how the engineering affects basic parameters for cables. It was well attended, including a very well known member o...

So all these other high end manufacturers have just been guessing up to know? I suspect in more than a few cases, yes. How many of these wire and cable guys actually had a degreed electrical/RF engineering background when they first had “an ide...

but as an EE he's very technically inclined and said it has a lot of settings that are less than intuitive to use. Took him over a month to figure out many features   I was an EE before I retired, and also own an RS130. It’s not that hard. 🙂 Ye...

I am done with hifirose but I must admit their new streamer rs130b looks very nice. It’s a great sounding unit, but I agree their app could use some refinement. If someone is looking for a streamer only hardware solution, it’s a good one. While... 
Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast
@navyachts, everyone has the opportunity to learn, I guess. Probably helps that the man behind the Iconoclast name is the same man who, at Belden, was perhaps involved with the designs of the more common industrial cables that BJC believes in.
