Unless someone at HiFi Rose can give me the right answer, I’ll unfortunately have to return my new RS151 because it stops consistently at each attacca (with no break) between movements or songs when using Apple Music and their Gapless audio setting.
When I contacted MoFi Tech Support (their distributor) they confirmed the problem after testing it. While I could try another streaming service, I shouldn’t have to since Apple Music with lossless audio is part of the HiFi Rose package.
Examples:
-
Marvin Gaye: What’s going on: God Is Love - Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology): There’s a unwanted break between these songs.
-
Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring - It breaks after every movement and eventually doesn’t start up again after ending at the end of the track. FYI: This great ballet score is in 2 large Parts. Each one has multiple movements that are played attacca. As we know, putting unwanted breaks between the movements ruins the musical experience and wasn’t what Stravinsky was after.
-
On several occasions the RS151 has stopped in the middle of tracks until I had to push play again.
-
On 3 occasions the streamer shut off completely on its own and I needed to push the on button 2 or 3 times to get it going again. I checked the connection and that wasn’t the problem.
-
Others have mentioned the same or similar problems on the internet with their reviews of both the 150b and the RS151.
Please advise.
Thanks!
