RS 130 Network Streamer
Subscribing for Rose updates, just saw this topic from the Rose website:
RS130
Mostly in Korean but scrolling through some details appear in English.
Perhaps this is a bit of Mike referred to at the upcoming show in Germany.

Re: RS 130 Network Streamer
Saw the following post (on PS Audio's forum) about RS-130 pricing from the UK, not sure why the large discrepancy in price from what Mike posted. Originally Posted by Mike

HiFi Rose RS130, Audio Destination in the UK for £3,582.50 Ex Vat or $4,477

Re: RS 130 Network Streamer
As I mentioned, “estimated price”. Nothing was set in stone at Munich. Originally Posted by audio.bill

Because pricing is not constant between countries. Originally Posted by audio.bill

I don't understand (NOT aimed at you Bill) why people think pricing should be constant between different countries."We are all billionaires because of the huge piles sweet dough rolling in from our participation in the ongoing campaign to suck your collective brains through a stirrer-straw." - PTA Editorial Staff

Re: RS 130 Network Streamer
Will be interesting to see how the RS130 compares to the established competition from Aurender, Auralic, Innuos, etc.

Re: RS 130 Network Streamer
Could be. He needs to reread the thread - Mike was the one who said it was $10K from what he was being told at the time - not me. Originally Posted by mep

Re: RS 130 Network Streamer
nothing to reread. Mike noted a price of a unit he has on order. I noted two other providers that provide another price. Even Twittering machines and Part-Time Audiophile are showing the price I noted. It's not a BIG FREAKING deal. We will all know the price sooner or later. Good grief.

Re: RS 130 Network Streamer
Appreciate the price heads up. It's certainly competitively price at ~$5,100. I'm curious to see if in reality it actually better the 150b as a pure streamer as right now the 150b as a pure streamer is sounding pretty darn good! Originally Posted by CPP

Re: RS 130 Network Streamer
Should be interesting and the user can utilize their own dac of choice.. The fiber connection is kinda cool. I'm still saving up for the 150b. Originally Posted by MichaelsMinute

Re: RS 130 Network Streamer
I agree on the 150b. It's more versatile and I bet would have better resale as you can sell it to a wider variety of people. I have the 150b running into my AQUA La Scala DAC with Mullard NOS tubes and frankly it sounds better than it should for its price point. Originally Posted by CPP

Re: RS 130 Network Streamer
A couple new reviews of the RS130:
A much more comprehensive review from HiFi News (October 2023) where they award it as an Outstanding Product. Some of their notable findings:
Linear PS with supercapacitor UPS, feeds separately regulated supplies for processors, OCXO, NVMe SSD cache, USB and Ethernet ports. Reports on revelatory sonics uncovering nuances never before heard on familiar recordings. Sonics are indistinguishable on files played via internal SSD or USB connected drive or from NAS.
Measurements section states it’s firmly in the upper echelon of music storage/streaming devices with the Aurender W20SE, Grimm MU1, Innuos Statement, AURALiC Sirius G2.1 (may have meant Aries combo since I recall they were reviewed together), and Antipodes Oladra. Jitter figures are on par with the best they’ve ever measured which were from the Aurender W20SE and N30SA.

You should ask your dealer to bring the CH stuff he wants to sell you for home audition in your system. IMO there is no way to tell what will sound better in your system.
