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?

I did end up buying a RS250 about 10 days ago, and I can concur with thegm--it is a fantastic unit that is capable of SO much. I have several other DACs including a Naim, Auralic, and Holo Audio May and this little guy sounds great! I have it connected to two Dynaudio Focus XD powered speakers and with just the 3 boxes, you have a very complete system that covers all the bases. The Rose app can use a bit more work, but the touchscreen is worth its weight in gold--and looks just fantastic.

Really happy with this purchase!

Guy’s and their gadgets...

Streaming is strictly for background noise in my house. I have a great DAC in my Bel Canto DAC 2.7 and it is fed by my Bel Canto CD3t, streaming is the new Node 2.

I am intrigued with the RS250 and 150 and will consider if I ever retire my BC gear but I doubt that will be anytime soon.

Thanks for the reviews.

Thegm, since you already have the rs250, could you describe how does the rosetube work?   Can you surf anything in rosetube and display it on the screen exactly like youtube?

I plan to connect an external monitor on the DAC if we could watch other things than listening music on rosetube...

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 had the NT-505, M10, C658 and Bluesound as previous front end devices.

Using Roon and stream with Qobuz....
