Great, please let me know , I’m very interested.
Yes I hope mine ships with the software but I have to admit it’s been a lot of fun and educational learning so much about my device and system. That’s why I bought the ra280, the bi amp and BTL modes made big differences than just standard 2 channel set up
Hi HMANAZ which windows version did you use to update the firmware on your RSA720 ?
I have tried with a PC with windows10 and that dosn’t work . . . .
I’m on W11 but it should work on W10. Feel free to DM happy to help any way I can.
You don’t need the FMC or switch…just buy a night hawk x10 and plug your modem into that and then directly into your RS130. Use a good quality 19v LPSU for the x10 and you are getting a fantastic sound.
I am trying to download the firmware for my RSA720, but I am getting stuck here. My computer will read the USB stick from the RSA720, but it won’t “activate” the RSA720 so I can’t download the update. Can anyone who has successfully used the firmware let m e know how they did it? On what operating system they used?
Hi Bicycle
This is exactly the same problem I run into !
Did you solve this problem ?
Yes I had to unplug and plug back in the usb and power cord into rsa720 for 2 hours. It was nightmare but eventually it worked.
But still doesn’t recognize dac with new firmware so I ordered new SFPs, base1000 t models, see if that helps
Even though I updated to new firmware, it never recognize the DAC so I cannot enjoy any improvement ! I don’t understand why Hifi Rose release the product when its not even viable. Even their firmware update process has been a terrible experience and very inconsistent. I am so frustrated, it make me reconsider my RD160 purchase .
Hello. I send an email to citech the company behind hifi Rose and I told them about this bad software and all the problems that causing and I said that I never going to buy another product. It’s waste of money. It’s like fooled us all.Instead of enjoying the music with a decent software like Eversolo does we spending time to wright here to ignorant people. They responded and said that they understand and they know the problems and future updates are coming to resolve all the issues. So let time to prove if this is true. Greetings to all.

Honestly I love hifi rose products. I was planning buying one more rs130 , and I already pre-ordered rd160 with one thousand deposit. I spent 3 days suffering this rsa720 problem, pulling the cable on and off on five different computer for 3 to 4 hours. I just wish they help us and solve our problems soon.

@Bicycle I was thinking to buy one of the amps and the sfp hub but if they don’t fix the software I am not going to buy anything else. I spend once 5k for the RS130. The hifi Rose brand is banned for me.

FWIW - I did have a problem with my screen that was promptly fixed by my dealer… so it hasn’t been without bumps. That said…
My Holo May KTE, RS130, and RSA720 are all working perfectly together. I prefer roon over the ROSE UI, so there is that… Sounds incredible works perfectly other than every once in a while, I need to reboot my DAC and/or ROSE to get it recognized.

Please don’t give up yet. The rs130 sound and looks is still industry leading and no other product comparable. Lumin and Aurrender look so plain and cheesy with no visual enjoyment.
Hang in there little bit longer. They’ve come through before . I think it can be solved my friend.

I auditioned Aurrender, no noticeable sonic improvement , but I realized the display of informational and visual enjoyment is equivalent like daydreaming with CD case or record cover. I’m not willing to give that up yet. Hifi Rose please step up your software game !! We demand as customers!!

@Bicycle I know my friend that is an excellent sounding device and well build. But the software destroys almost everything. I am not using the device with streaming platforms I just want to build my database with my hires files up to DSD512 and I cannot. I have live jazz recordings and no gapless DSD playback. The new database function only adds music and doesn’t delete if you deleted the files. Every thing that they doing on the software it’s incomplete. Nothing perfect. Clearly they have to change the development team and they keep persisting to the same mistake and keeping them. They never going to deliver a fully functional software. Here we are remember my words.

I don’t understand why no software engineer in charge should come on the forum and explain to us what is going on , why so many problems, and when going to install new leadership??
