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.
RS130, £4299.00 including VAT from Henley Audio in the UK, or $5,400.
HiFi Rose RS130, Audio Destination in the UK for £3,582.50 Ex Vat or $4,477

Re: RS 130 Network Streamer
Because pricing is not constant between countries.
You need to account for tax differences, currency value difference and currency stability issues, government warranty requirement differences (which add to the price), importation business structure difference, etc. etc.
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
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
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.
