Migrating to RS151

I see the RS151 is available for pre-ordering. My question is, will the RS151 with its upgraded OS (I understand it is using Android 12) accept the library of music that I ripped on to SSD on my RS150B?

To ask the question another way. Will I be able to remove the SSD from the RS150B and place it into the RS151 and keep my music library intact? Or will I need to do some intermediate steps first?

Dear Patrick,

Before switching to the RS151, make sure you actually need it and understand what you need it for.

You definitely wont gain anything in terms of sound quality. The operating system is the same. Android 12 simply means the system will load a bit faster, but you might not even notice that.

You should be able to install your old SSD into the RS151 without any issues.

Schon mal den gehört.

I am not sure that they do know. As far as I know, it has not been released yet. This is supposed to have an upgraded DAC and clock, so theoretically, there should be improvement. Audible? That remains to be seen.

I am just looking for a better user experience as the RS150B is a bit wonky in my experience. You can find other postings from me on this site when I first got this nearly 3 years ago. I suspect the UI will be more stable. At least I hope so.

Maybe getting the RS151B with its awesome chip over the RS150 will be a real eye-opener for you…

Maybe you’ll finally toss out all your bass traps, stop fighting, and actually start listening…

But hey, no promises! :laughing:

There are those silly things called “science” and “engineering” that are pretty useful for finding these things out.

Not to say that a 151 may not be a worthwhile upgrade if you want a shiny new toy. Why not? But for audible improvement – no. Really, a Wiim with properly done room correction might sound better than any Rose (or, for that matter, a $100K Wadax) without.
