This is what I’m afraid of. I don’t want to have to wait for fixes, worry about firmware versions. Every YT video on this product is filled with support issues.
I’ve given the eversolo a good look. I really value the silver aesthetic which sadly they only do up to the A6… I will likely go that route given the consistent issues I keep seeing on rose products.
Yes indeed but it works on the basics. DSD gapless playback and rescan library works as it should on Eversolo. Hifi rose cannot fix those issues for 2 years now and that is the basics. Not to mention all other application bugs. I have my own library and as a file player i want the device to work flawlessly.

Don’t stay on that in my opinion. Look at the sound and the functionality. I can’t say much i will return when i get my hands on the eversolo t8 and do a comparison between t8 and rs130 in a couple of weeks. But for me hifi rose it’s history.
The problem with Hifi Rose is, that you can’t expect that for example Spotify losless will run in the future. They are not able (or interested in) to reactivate Tidal connect.
Only as (what I’m doing) Roon endpoint the device have worked until the latest firmware update. Here we’ve currently a big problem with the standby mode.
By the way: Eversolo don’t have a standby mode (only display off or shutdown, but with never devices wake on lan) and the Rose products looking much better.
If you only want to have a VU meter, than you can also buy a really good streamer (lumin has for example a grandios support, stable firmware and Spotify losless integrated since day one) and an external VU meter or an amp with one included.
Eversolo has many many software bugs. Just fyi.
Alexwberg,
Horses for courses.
HiFi Rose is not perfect. But then no manufacturer’s products are.
I am a constant bitcher about how the software could be better. Still, I own four HiFi Rose products, an RS 130, an RD160, and two RS 520s. so I can’t really hate them. For myself, even though the software could be better, it suits my needs and once you get used to its quirks (which takes a long time) I love the sound and flexibility. Remember, there is no software manual. In spite of all of this, I’m a very happy customer. If you don’t mind a fairly steep learning curve, there isn’t anything better.

Dear HiFi Rose users
We are actively working on fixing bugs, especially in core aspects of streaming, app control, standby behavior, and more.
We will continue to strive to create the best products.
Please add gapless DSD to that list.
When using the Gapless function, it is not that DSD music cannot be played, but it is currently blocked by our software. When using the Gapless function, DSD sound sources can be played, but noise occurs when playing some DSD sound sources. We will identify and fix the issue as soon as possible.
This is the exact same answer that you given me two years ago. It’s like a script of answers. @Tony22 That means never it’s impossible for them.

We are not able to add every feature requested by users.
In the future, when we receive user requests, we will first share them with our software and hardware teams.
If we receive confirmation that the feature will be added, we will then make it official.
We are also considering building a system that will allow us to provide updates on the status of each request, including whether or not it will move forward.
@ROSEHAN if DSD gapless playback it’s a user request and not basic functionality then you are playing with our minds. Get serious
Rosehan,
Thank you, I hope what you are saying about status updates on requests, including go / no go decisions will be posted is true. In light of this this statement I have two questions:
-
Can gapless playback for Apple Music be implemented in any of the current products or is it not possible?
-
Can Dolby Atmos pass through be implemented on any of the current streamer / transports or is it not possible? Please note I am referring to signal pass through, not decoding of Atmos signals.
Thank you.
Hello,
Apple Music gapless playback – Unfortunately, gapless playback is not available on Rose devices or most third-party products because Apple does not provide the necessary support.
Dolby Atmos passthrough – Rose devices are designed for two-channel playback and do not support Atmos passthrough to an external processor.
We understand these features would be valuable, and your feedback has been shared with our development team.
BTW, Tidal has announced its closing shop. Bye, bye Tidal.
Is it ? Just searched the Google and the news is still: Tidal music streaming service is not shutting down, but its parent company has reduced its investment in the platform to focus on Bitcoin mining. While the music service has experienced staff layoffs, dwindling market share, and the discontinuation of integrations with platforms like [Plex] it still remains available on Android and iOS devices and continues to serve its users, though its future viability is a subject of ongoing concern.
If joy of masturbation did not have something stupid to say, it would not have anything at all to say.
… and… it still does not have anything intelligent to say…
Thanks for clarifying Tidal’s situation. My bad.
