Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality.

I'm looking to update my streaming which has been in place for over 10 years.   Still sounds great but lots new in streaming since.

Would like to try consolidating with an upgradeable all in 1 unit.  Need a lot of power and current though to replace what I have.  Close to pulling the trigger on a nad m33.   Hifi Rose streamers have appeal.   Old Logitech Squeezebox Touch streamers are being replaced.  Still nothing with form and function like those that I see but tied to old Logitech MEdia Server which  is very reliable and does a lot but is compute resource intensive and pretty old.   Been leveraging Plex more as well for now.

The Rose products look to be what are essentially Android devices. Like an Android Phone/Tablet. It uses Android OS with its own touch screen, coupled with streaming software built atop its network stack and an onboard DAC. Presumably running stock Android apps from the streaming services (which is a huge plus, IMO). It's an interesting approach.

If you're already an Android ecosystem user (eg - phone), I think you'd find the user experience of the Rose products very familiar. 

FYI OP

This is pretty standard for all high end streamers.

”One of the things that pushes me toward the HiFi Rose is the ease of use along with the support of the company as far as frequent automatic updates.in addition to the touch screen It has a physical remote or can be controlled from my iPad.”

How robust and user friendly the interface (Aurender and Aurlic are pretty universally considered exceptional) varies highly from streamer to streamer. Aurender supports iPhone and iPad and you can make requests in the app from the streamer so they can support and download a new version automatically. Questions answered within the app within a day or so. To use a new one, just plug in turn on, download app… put code from streamer into iPad… and you are done. 

A key to the app is integrating your streaming service library and local files, And Network files if you have any. Keeping track of music you find in your streaming service and creating your personal library is really important. Qobuz, Tidal, and one or two others are integrated on all high end streamers. Just sign on in the app once and you are done.

Hopefully your HiFi Rose will be similarly well designed.

@gphill I think you will love the Rose....I just picked one up last week.

Has anyone had the Moon Neo in their system yet? The prices is right.
