JBT …… my dealer picked up the line and sold out quick - He has good ears and proclaims the HiFi Rose a keeper ….. I remain optimistic

Hi Fi Rose is making a big splash. Check out the simulated tuner:

I'm also with W9TR. McIntosh makes great amps, but the primary draw of their digital products is the brand/physical appearance

I have two Mcintosh Dacs the MDA1000 D11000 and both are second to none for the price. Also MCD301 and MCD500 both are top notch performers.

Mcintosh builds excellent sounding streamers but the software is not up to speed that's for sure.

Wanted to tidy up the thread

Downsizing my system and with limited space I needed a single component to replace my Auralic Aries and Mcintosh D100 and all the assorted cables

Ended up with a HiFi Rose RS 150B ...... had it for a week now and overall a nice piece - Lacks a bit in support and the learning curve was a tad frustrating (like the warranty registration page is partly in Korean) but all in all performs well - Plenty of options to play around with and when I get things a bit more sorted I'll do a review

If you are interested in some used gear or cables check out the market place !!!!!

All2-

Looks like a nice piece and down-sizing on components and cables looks more and more appealing; especially without sacrifice of sound!

Question...Does it allow installation of an internal SSD for ripped CD's and does it integrate with Qobuz?
