Display Improvements

New to HiFi Rose as I just bought a new RS150B. I haven’t even listened to it yet but can’t help but ask or request some improvements to the screen. Namely, is there any variations of the view when Roon (or other apps) are playing back music? There is a huge amount of screen real estate and it seems the only font I can make larger is the song title. The data stream info can’t be changed and then there is just this little tiny Roon Ready logo. I have an Eversolo A6 and A8 and the screen options for what is displayed on their much-smaller screen offers vastly more options than the RS150. In my case, I prefer to see the nerdy stuff, like PCM or DSD, bit rate, source, etc.

If there is a way to change font sizes for the stream bit rate/type, I would be happy enough with that. Or if there are some different looks available for the whole screen ala Eversolo whereby I can pick how much detail, layout, etc. that would be great. I see it for VU meters but not for the album art/meta data screen.

Lastly, I can see its been requested before but I’ll ask again - spectrum analyzer? Seriously, how is this not a feature on a $5000 box? If Rose won’t do it, has anybody successfully side loaded an app that can do it?

I’ll leave this on a high note - beautifully engineered box and I don’t mind the app at all. Granted, I will almost always use it as a Roon Ready player.

Well obviously, HiFi Rose does not monitor these boards. So yet another strike against them. My ownership of this RS150B may be very short lived.

I checked the FB board as well and there is scant evidence of them supporting their products up there either. Soooooo. HiFi Rose - PLEASE tell me where to get support for this product? I have numerous questions (not just suggestions) and have no idea where I can get answers from.

A little more decency in this forum would certainly be appropriate.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

We cannot add all features that are supported on other devices but are not supported on our device.
Other devices also have many features that we support but they do not.

The part that can be made larger on the music playback screen is the song title. The playback screen is designed to exclude the sound source title, so the rest cannot be enlarged.

We will forward your opinions to the person in charge. We will review it internally and make corrections if possible.

I use mine as a Roon end point and I tend to leave the display on the VU meters (Rose). You can see all the nerdy stuff on Roon. I’ve had mine for a few years and it’s the Music (sound) and useability I like.
