    What a lovely relaxed and informative video. You mentioned you had a few health issues. I hope you are fighting fit and well recovered. I am about to replace my Bluesound Node 2i. I will be using it as a bedroom system and the clock/ weather function means it is such a lifestyle product. This is the first time I have seen your channel and be assured you have a new loyal viewer. I look forward to the next one.

      Thanks so much! I've been doing much better lately. Regarding the RS201E, this player has constant updates, which continue to add more features. One thing I want to warn you about is the weather regions are still somewhat limited. There is no ability to type in more specific details to your home location. Home addresses in the US for example, are limited to only major cities. This will likely improve over time. When I first received it, there's was virtually no US support but it improved dramatically. The clock functions work incredibly well however.

      @@GadgetryTech Thank you for the information. I am based in Cambridge, United Kingdom and if the weather location has Cambridge UK listed in the locations I would be happy with that. Reviews on the Rose app seem to be quite confident. I am also looking to add a Roon Nucleus Plus at the same time as purchasing the Rose 201E. I am hoping that they will work together like peanut butter and jelly. I am a loyal viewer of a UA-cam channel named Anadialog. My main set up was recently put up in Part 2 of on viewers systems from around the world. If you get a chance please have a look. Take care. ua-cam.com/video/Ug_5_WckF94/v-deo.html Enjoy!

    What do you think if you’re using one of their products and I would love to hear which one you thought would be the best for just a streamer. I am using balanced audio technologies preamp and amplification. And I have right now a moon 280 D DAC and streamer. Wondering what the difference might be in your opinion.

    Compared to NAD M10 V2 which sounds better?

    Thanks for the review. When playing FLAC files from a hard drive or USB does this unit's DAC have a bright crisp sound or does it have the highs rolled off a bit? I'm looking for a unit that sounds detailed. I won't be streaming music or using its amplifier, I'll just be connecting it to my receiver as a convenient way to play my FLAC files. Thanks

    • @GadgetryTech
      @GadgetryTech  2 роки тому

      I wouldn't say it's rolling off aggressively or adding to much on the highs. This player does err on the side of clarity and liveliness though so I think it will give you more of what you're looking for.

    If i plug a usb device such a jump drive or HDD or SSD with my music in it, can i "manage" (choose what i wanna listen to) using the mobile phone app?

  • @mr.b4444
    @mr.b4444 2 роки тому

    Can the preamp RCA out also be used as a line level output that can be connected to a receiver's analog input? I won't be using the integrated amp of the unit.

      @shahlan68 2 роки тому

      The sound isn’t that good. It would be better if u use the digital output and use an external DAC or the receiver digital input

  • @shahlan68
    @shahlan68 2 роки тому +1

    I’m disappointed with the sound out of the intergrated amp.
    Then I bought a Starke power amp using Cerwin Verga and it still can’t perform.
    My SMSL AD16 sounds better

      I haven’t heard much about it to be honest but I did email them about it several months ago. You can use air play with it through your phone but won’t be able to take advantage of the beautiful on screen display.

    Honestly it’s brilliant,but only one optical I put and no coaxial. Optical ports are very easily broken so if that happens you are Fu….. why don’t they put a coaxial input. My god it only costs a few cents. This is a no go for that money.

    The sound is off on this Hifi Rose. I prefer my Audiolab streamer. Yes the dts app to control it sucks. But the sound from the Audiolab is perfect for a lot less bucks. Put in some more bucks and get an Aurender for that perfect high end audiophile sound.

    huge dissapointment. downloaded rose connect and connect premium and wasted two days trying to connect to the unit to my iphone or ipad so I could not control it .. extremely frustrating. almost threw it in yhe river, then I remembered it was $1500. I will be returning this unit with a big FU to whoever designed the app and no doubt never used it. THINK ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS PLEASE!!!

      Honestly I'm glad you said this @clunkorguk! What happens with UA-cam is my phone only shows one notification as an alert (with both the regular UA-cam and Studio apps). If I get another comment quickly after that, it doesn't show it in my comment history on the phone notification screen, and in the past some comments have definitely slipped through. I'm not making excuses, because I should have been checking the comments more frequently via the web, so thank you for calling this out.
      With that being said, I know it's a year late, but thank you so much for the kind words @tristanireland7799. I'm glad you found the content enjoyable! If you ended up getting the R201E, I hope you're enjoying it. I'm so sorry for not responding to you much, much sooner. I hope you both have a good one!

      Hey,
      Not a problem as we All,
      I included have endless infinite random problems w tech at some point or other as in life, anyhow as they say better late than never I appreciate you replying!
      So, after all that there’s this!
      I’ve been using an Innuos
      Zen Mini Mk3 for the past 2 years & love it!
      A friend lent me long term, more like gave me a LPS & DAC
      to take the AQ up another level
      or two which made
      a huge difference &
      was much appreciated!
      Having said that, as an ongoing obsession with improving ease of access to 🎼I♥️ I’m still in the market for the Hi-Fi Rose either of the 2 entry level units etc.
      This past Saturday I actually went to my trusted go to local
      Audio Friend to look at the new Marantz Model 30 I/A to replace my Rega Illicit R & ended up buying the the Marantz Silver!😍
      Checked out the HIRose & looks nicer & more appealing in person so maybe in the new years
      I’ll add it to my system!
      So Thx again for the GR8
      very enjoyable review,
      keep up the good work!
      Cheers.
