I have updated Rose OS 5.2 but I cannot find any update in Apple App Store. Where can I find it?

#4

Look for Early Access Rose Connect in the App Store.

No fix for DSD gapless playback. Is there any news for that??

#6

@christoum1974

We plan to add this feature in the future, but it will likely take a long time.

#7

It seems that I can’t change HDMI resolution from 1280x720p50.

#8

I for one would like to understand how something that has been done by a number on a number of other devices, some having been out for years, is so difficult for HiFi Rose to accomplish?

How much time is the long time? I hope my rs130 streamer would be still functional at that time.

#10

In the early update application, is the old account used or a new one created? Tell me please

#11

The old account is used. No new account is created.

#12

Log in the old account.

#13

I can’t either although I think this is fixed in the regular (non early access) program.
I have an RS130.

Guys! Thanks to all!!!

#15

Anything on Tidal Connect @ROSEHAN ?

#16

@michaelweening

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

We are working hard to support Tidal Connect. However, Tidal does not provide any help. We have to solve that problem ourselves. Please understand even if it takes time.

Are there any updates to the EA release from early April ?

Me too, please.
Surely some progress has been made since then.
Eversolo has software updates every two weeks.

And me.

Surely the whole point of an early access release is to give people the ability to use the next version as it develops and feed back any issues.

Roon does this very successfully and I’ll take others word that Eversolo do too.

Almost three months since the initial release doesn’t deliver against that!

Please don’t take this as criticism of Rose’s representatives on here who are doing their best but the development team need to give much better visibility of their priorities.
