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.

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.Yes. I have one on order. $10k MSRP estimated price.

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.
Music Direct and Upscale both are showing Price $5,195.00
Hi - I don't understand you point.
That it's not $10k?
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.
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.
While everyone is waiting here is the owners manual./
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!
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.
