The problem is that you’ve been writing about certain issues for months, yet mere writing won’t change anything regarding the device firmware or the app. Concrete action is needed—which is unfortunately lacking—and the ROSE ONE still has many bugs that need fixing.
On another note, are you aware that this forum page doesn’t display new posts when viewed on an Android smartphone?
I’m simply pointing out how much work you still have ahead of you—and not just regarding the device firmware and the app.
I currently own the RS130 and a Eversolo T10. From my listening I could not hear any real difference. I perceive the RS130 USB to be slightly more open compared to T10 i2s but again jumping back and forth it is tiny at best. Overall I prefer the RS130’s display and full 17" width to the T10. UI Software is a toss up. There are more options on the Eversolo but I really like the music discovery on the RS130. In my opinion once you get to a well built OCXO clock the sound quality differences between transports become small. The DAC is far more important.

I agree that the sonic differences between the T10 and the RS130 are de minimis, as you might expect.
We have very similar systems, btw.
Also agree with dpacman.
Since yesterday I’ve also a RS130 (connected to a Holo Audio May KTE), which differs in SQ only really subtile to the RS150, a Holo Audio Red, Eversolo DMP-A8, RS250, Ropieee RPis,… in using the same DAC.
For me it’s mostly the feeling that the RS130 is constructed on a real high level and it uses the big fine display (but expected here a bit more in compare with the RS150) and IR (instead of Bluetooth) for the remote.
Thank you both for choosing the RS130 and for sharing your detailed listening experiences.
We are pleased to hear that you appreciate the build quality, large display, and overall design of the RS130.
We understand that sound quality comparisons can vary depending on the DAC, system configuration, and personal preferences, so we truly appreciate you sharing your experiences with other users.
We hope you continue to enjoy your RS130.
Thank you for your support of HiFi ROSE.
