HiFi Rose RS150B or RS130

[MikeO]

I heard this unit (RS150B) the other day as a friend of mine just bought one. The large display was excellent and I found the sound quality of it to also be quite good. Eversolo DMP-A8 seems to be a direct competitor at half the price.

I'm wondering if any of you had experience with either the HiFi Rose RS150B streamer/DAC or the newer RS130 streamer?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Streamers are ‘done’ a Wiim Pro Plus is audibly transparent ( as good as it gets) so purely down to features/aesthetics .

About 4000 euro for a streamer with display. Why?

Streaming quality is not a real issue, the above mentioned Wiim is fine.

And why do you need a display? For that kind of money you can easily buy an ipad to look at the cover art, right where you are sitting.

Spend your money on room acoustics and speakers - there you can really gain quality in the reproduction of music.

Why even 400$ for a streamer, any small box should be fine.
Yes, that's the case...until we put it into the proper system and found out any commertial streamer on the market is no good as it should, price no objective..

Fooling arround here and there doesn't give any proper conclusion. And concerning the price, of course these days everything is expensive and moves towards luxurious lelves. It's a market that is adopting and demanding nice boxes with crap parts inside in most cases..
