I bought this model and has been a truly great sounding with my Denafrips Pontus II 12th anniversary DAC. Every positive audio attribute you have mentioned is one I have experienced. I hope that HiFi Rose will be there for customer support the way Bluesound has been for me in the past. should I ever need it. The display is probably the best bling it has going for it and RoseTube is nice too. I find I like to use Roon Nucleus with it more so than the built in user app or phone app.
I like that thank you “sounds as good as it looks” I also agree with you on your comment about the app. The good news is I have hope that they’ll keep improving it. Thanks again for the nice comments.
Mr Adrian, did you compare the SQ of the USb out to the I2s out to your PS Audio Dac? Is there a difference? And does the I2s out process the full DSD 256/512? as I'd like to use it with my PS Audio DSD Dac Mk1. Great review, thanks
@@adrianalexander2651 Not a question. The Rose RS 130 IS worth the money. When folks don’t have a resolving synergistic system, they can’t hear differences.
@@Pete.across.the.streetLOL ..but why . The streamer section on the Wiim is pretty decent ..but I output mine to an external DAC…and it’s pretty decent.
@@sleepyf1I had the Cambridge streamer here …it’s good but not enough to justify its price over a basic Wiim Pro…also the Cambridge app was crashing ….there’s that.
I have heard nothing but great things about the Aurender - I heard their software is great. I know that some of their new units are going to be Roon certified I have not heard one, but I plan on listening to one
Have you discover the serious bugs yet? If you have 50k plus tracks and you want to add more the rescanning never ends and there's no DSD gapless playback.
WiiM should make a product with that quality and screen size. No DAC. And all ouputs. Sell it for 800 And be done with it. All competition will be crushed for yrs to come. Like the other guy said I’ll spend $1000 on speaker cables before a streamer.
I don't feel the need for a touch screen ,, why have to get out of your comfy chair . Just use your phone or tablet that's sat with you , great review by the way
Yes. And why can't you just have an option to integrate all the visuals with your flat screen tv on a wall using your phone app as the selector? It's time to get everything working together seamlessly. A screen this small on the streamer is useless.
Absolutely no information about the internal electronics, power supply clocks, et cetera - you dont appear to know anything about the customer base for this type of product? Absolute Clowns.
@@Pete.across.the.street So, if a car reviewer shows me the dash board and a picture of the car - i should then look up the engine and gear box from the manufacturer before deciding if i should buy it?
I bought a stream for $120. Anything more than that is a waste of money. The Wiim Obviously. You may get better sound, but that Rose is not $6000 CAD better sound. I can guarantee it. Id rather buy $1000 speaker wire, I still think that is over priced. To each his own.
@@alexkane84 but is it worth the $$$? music is music and you don't need to spend thousands to get a involving system. for the same money you can buy a very nice set up. speakers, amp, source. don't need the bragging rights or the validation.
Fool yourself as much as you want. If you want the best out of your system you don't cheap out on any component. Upgrading is not linear with the price, but its worth it if you have the means.

Excellent overview in 13 minutes. Nicely done!
So great sounding. Worth every penny😊
Nice review. I love my Hifi Rose RS250
Thank you for the kind words. The 250 is very nice.
I love mine. It sounds incredible and looks just as good as it sounds. The app could be better, but they’re working on an app with AI improvements.

No thank you I appreciate the kind words

Found the I2s data on the Rose overview video, yes the I2s transmits 32bit 768kHs 👍
Great question I prefer the I2S over USB if the DAC has that option
Great question I prefer the I2S over USB if the DAC has that option - both will play Hi-Rez files USB and I2S
Love mine combined with the Mola Mola.
That fiber input is money
Thank you!
Curious to know how it compares to the new Auralic ARIES S1 with the external power supply.
That’s a great question. I wish I knew maybe I’ll review that product and do a comparison.
Just upgraded my Hifi Rose RS 250A going into the Mola Mola DAC to the RS 130. It is worth it out of the box.
@@mauricecuffee7220 I want to make sure I understand your question are you asking me is the hi-fi rose 130 worth it hooked up to the Mola Mola ?
@@adrianalexander2651 Not a question. The Rose RS 130 IS worth the money. When folks don’t have a resolving synergistic system, they can’t hear differences.
@@mauricecuffee7220 agreed - it’s always the haters, but you are absolutely correct
How does it compare to the Wiim Ultra?
Lol😂
@@Pete.across.the.streetLOL ..but why .
The streamer section on the Wiim is pretty decent ..but I output mine to an external DAC…and it’s pretty decent.
@@carminedesanto6746 it is decent. Not going to get you to the same level as this on a high end system.
@carminedesanto6746 what are you comparing the streamer section to?
@@sleepyf1I had the Cambridge streamer here …it’s good but not enough to justify its price over a basic Wiim Pro…also the Cambridge app was crashing ….there’s that.
Adrian: wonderful review. I'm an Aurender guy considering the W20 and W20se. Have you heard either or any other Aurenders? Thank you 😊
Also Adrian: how do you send DSD to your DAC. I have read it is impossible via USB. Is it possible with i2s?
Thanks for the kind words apologize for the late reply. Yes, it is possible to send it.I2S regarding DSD files you also can send a USB

Have one. Bluetooth is buggy, Screen gets the yips which can ultimately end in replacement of screen.
Don't cripple your sound quality with compressed Spotify...instead use a quality lossless source like Apple Music.
A forever network transport? That's like saying a forever VHS player 😂 Come on, this forever term has been thrown around too much.
@@sleepyf1 my VHS is still kicking

I am not so sure about this product, lets wait, I hear there are issue with the internal power regulators.
Forever until you upgrade it
You are absolutely right great point😂😂😂

These reviews are literally advertorials at this point
You can get all that info in their marketing material

@@AH-wr1ir you're looking for an overview, not a review
Everything now is 5 to 10k…. Completely ridiculous….
