    I would definitely like to see more videos like this. You guys did a great job of describing the differences between these two excellent streamers.

    Great job guys. Good to see the extensive talent employed at Upscale. Would be good to see a comparison between the HiFi Roase, Auralic and Holo May. Looking for more of these comparos. Cheers

    I would love for ya'll to do this with the new Auralic Vega S1 in the future. I'm becoming more and more intrigued by that unit.

    Joel does a really nice job summarizing the differences, please do more of these comparisons. One issue with a single box that does multiple things is that adding a better DAC or streamer causes half of the original purchase price to be irrelevant. But the Auralic would have to be replaced altogether, and digital components have minimal resale value. Plenty of things to think about before making this much of an investment.

    Thanks for the informative video. I believe that most people who use streamers are primarily using an app to select their music and control the device. Why didn't you actually use and compare the apps on camera? You spend over 6 minutes examining "Tonality" and less than a minute discussing the software that listeners will use all of the time.

    Little out of content, but how would you compare the Lumin D3, T3 or Aurender A15 to these 2 that you reviewed?

    Wrong album art shown at 4:34, should reference the *track* Muddy Waters, as performed by "The Seldom Seen" bluegrass band live at the Cellar Door in 1975, not the audience recording of the *artist* Muddy Waters from the same venue in the same year.

    Eversolo A6 as a transport and LAIV Harmony DAC. The Rose suffers of flaky software.

      For settings, display options, like the clock and meters, switching between the apps, etc. the app works, but needs a lot of improvement. They’re working on it.
