I upgraded from an Innuos Zenith mk2 and Phoenix USB to the Rose 130. The Innuos has a bottom up sound while the 130 is more neutral. One thing that stands out is the 130 does a great job with imaging.
New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport
I originally thought that the HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport was a CD transport until further reading. It’s actually a streamer with the ability to apply a fiber optic connection to lower the noise. Hifi Rose seem to put out highly praised products that are very high performance at their price points. At 5.2k, it’s seems like a great value for the quality and proposed performance as it’s too early for reviews.

@dhungana, I’m not sure if I’m reading this correctly. The RS130 does do native DSD out if configured to do so. |
@tonyptony I stand corrected. The RS130 can do DSD when using I2S. But not through AES/EBU or USB. At least not with the curent firmware. Maybe it gets fixed and you can do DSD through USB soon as well. |
@dhungana, hmm. Have you tried DSD over DoP, or only Native? Also, do you have the RS130 set up with volume control enabled? |
