It is nice to get updates. It is like unpacking a gift to see what is inside

Cannot get RoseConnect Premium (iOS) to update from 4.19.04 to 5.6.01
I tried on iPhone 12 and iPad. NoGo.
Maybe wait a little longer.

MuP · September 4, 2024, 12:11pm

You must download the App „Rose Early Access“ (iOS) if you have the Early Access OS Release installed

Paulus · September 4, 2024, 12:47pm

@MuP
thanks for this useful tip!

Paulus · September 5, 2024, 8:55am

And how does Airplay2 work?
I can play to my RS520 from iPhone but not from RS520 to my LG TV.
Yes both on the same WiFi network.
LG TV has no search function.
TV is shown on Bluetooth screen, as is the remote control, but cannot slide to the left

ROSEHAN · September 6, 2024, 1:32am

@Paulus

AirPlay 2 is the same as the existing AirPlay method.

If your TV or mobile phone supports AirPlay, activate the AirPlay function on your Rose device and search for the Rose device on your TV or mobile phone.

Paulus · September 6, 2024, 11:11am

I do that and I get my LG TV in the bluetooth screen on the RS520.
When I tap it, I get the message"cannot pair to LG TV WebOSTV Oled ……………… because of incorrect pincode oor access code"
Then I have reset my RS520 to factory settings and did the same with my LG TV.
NO result. still the same message.
So where can I delete or reset the pincode and/or access code??
Again no trouble to pair my MacBook or iPhone to the LG TV via airplay.
When I switch the airplay to OFF on the RS520 and back ON there is a message saying airplay will switch on after a while. It looks like it does not.
What can/should I do?
I can airplay from my iPad to the LG TV and see what is playing, but I want not to go from my iPad but directly from the RS520.

I am running EA 5.6 since 2 days

christoum1974 · September 7, 2024, 10:33am

I installed the EA version from curiosity for the db scanning improvement. They did a big step on DB BUT they killed my T+A DAC200 connection. The ROSE130 didn’t discover my dac. I returned back to the official version and my dac connection came back. So users be CAREFUL. @ROSEHAN You must read this comment. I don’t see a happy ending on this

ROSEHAN · September 9, 2024, 5:36am

@christoum1974

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Please answer a few questions.

Even if you update your RS130 to the EA version and connect the T+A DAC200 to all USB ports on the RS130 rear, is the T+A DAC200 not recognized?
If you use the official version on RS130, are there any problems connecting T+A DAC200?

scoro2000 · September 9, 2024, 8:27am

How can you ask something like that, even after the man clearly said that when returning to the official version, DAC works?

MRD · September 9, 2024, 1:47pm

After updating to EA, my Holo May DAC is not recognised any longer with USB connection.

It works perfectly on official release.
Rebooting did not solve the issue.

Reading through the thread it seems that other DAC’s are affected as well.

Yu3319 · September 9, 2024, 4:42pm

Yes, I also have the same problem as my Weiss DAC and Playback Designs DAC are not longer recognized by RS130z

christoum1974 · September 9, 2024, 5:50pm

@ROSEHAN Yes the DAC200 it’s not recognized. The list is empty on USB connection. With the official version no problem at all.

the_bat · September 9, 2024, 11:30pm

I have the same issue - my Chord Qutest DAC is not recognised by the latest 5.6 early access version, but is recognised by the official version.

I think you need to have a word with your testing department.

Ben · September 10, 2024, 6:48am

Ha, i think with the EA version the users are the global testing department. Oh yes, we are there to find errors and make things better

MRD · September 10, 2024, 9:26am

@ROSEHAN Can we expect a solution soon please?

the_bat · September 10, 2024, 10:32am

New functionality not working completely is one thing, badly breaking something that was working before is quite another.

MRD · September 10, 2024, 1:44pm

After being switched off for 20 hours and switched back on today, my RS130 is showing firmware 5.6 as being OFFICIAL, without possibility of rolling back to REAL OFFICIAL, working firmware. HiFI Rose, can you please provide fix asap and give us functionality of all advertised functions and features instead of a brick. At minimum provide buyback option as this is becoming a joke. A $5000 joke of the product.
