I guess the first question is for Rose and the second is for the forum. Based on power supplies or other factors, is one or the other better on top? Not a good idea?
Yes, the RS130 and RD160 can be physically stacked. However, we recommend placing the RS130 on top of the RD160, rather than the other way around. This is for the following reasons:
- Heat Dissipation: The RD160 (DAC) generates more heat during operation. Placing it on top may block the ventilation of the RS130 (streamer) underneath, potentially affecting performance or longevity.
- Weight Distribution: The RD160 is heavier due to its robust internal design and power supply. Placing the lighter RS130 on top helps prevent strain on the chassis of either unit.
For best performance and thermal management, we also recommend leaving some space between units or using isolation feet or shelves if possible.

Thanks for the guidance on this.
Did you mix up the weights? Or is the information on the official website wrong?
