Does the RS130 passthrough bit-depth, sampling frequency & data rates equivalent to a sourced file & equivalent to a music service?

Thank you for the education. But you misunderstood my question.

Hence, I have changed the title to “Does the RS130 passthrough bit-depth, sampling frequency & data rates equivalent to a sourced file & equivalent to a music service?”

This question is not about Audio Quality. It is simply a question about understanding what RS130 outputs.

In other words, for media files like FLAC & for streamed media:

  1. Is the RS130’s bit-depth output the same as the source’s bit-depth? Answer, Yes or No. – if no, elaborate what bit-depth is outputted & why?

  2. Is the RS130’s Sampling Frequency output the same as the source’s Sampling Frequency? Answer, Yes or No. – if no, elaborate what Sampling Frequency is outputted & why?

  3. Is the RS130’s data rate output the same as the source’s data rate? Answer, Yes or No. – if no, elaborate what data rate is outputted & why?

Please can a HiFi Rose representative like @ROSEHAN respond or anyone else who factually knows the answer: YES or NO with explanation.

Here are answers to your questions.

The Music Service data rates you mentioned are the same as RS130 passthrough data rates. Lossy codecs of RS130 passthrough data rates are supported by converting to PCM.

@ROSEHAN How about bit-depth & sampling frequency? Does the RS130 output the same as the source?

You know, you’ve been given the answer to your question multiple times already. Always the same answer, too.

Not to be too rude about it, but maybe you should spend a little bit of time reading up on how digital audio works, so you could actually understand the answer?

How about

1.Unless you tell it otherwise in the output setting section of the in/out setting menu then Rose will output the same sampling frequency and bit depth as the original.
2. The output data rate is sampling frequency times bit depth times two for stereo, it’s not a different variable, so it will be the same as the source rate unless you’ve told the Rose to upsample.

I don’t often agree with BorisM, but…

If you want to know more on how digital audio operates. Visit Hans Beekhuizen on utube he has a couple of vidio’s where he explains it very well. Also how it can get wrong.
