And while they are trying to build up that strong dealer network, HiFi Rose will have to take on the task of representing themselves at the various audio shows. Whether they did a good job or not, MoFi typically has a very large presence at the shows. Even in HiFi Vienna, MoFi had two rooms in the main venue while Rose itself was set up in the open space gallery.

In Vienna I would expect to see Piega ?sp? being a strong presence since they are the European distributors.
The interesting thing is that the Eversolo is now priced at and higher than Rose.
When I was at AXPONA I saw the RD160 in the rack. When I talked w the Rep it was like âOh yeah, its great!â and that was that.
It would be nice to see Rose get a room and maybe partner w Piega or Mon Acoustic (Korean Speaker company) Then get a rep in who knows the product line. Also get some gear out to the YT crowd. You would be surprised how much influence these guys have. (Although that could be a double edged sword.)
I didnât see Piega at Vienna. I just checked the exhibitor and brand lists and Piega is not listed as being at the show. However, AV Industry was there - I think they are Roseâs Denmark based distributor. But they to were in the open hall area.

So AV Industry Denmark is a subsidiary of a French company, and rep
Piega along w Rose and also Eversolo. (Which is interesting.)
So that could explain the Piega / Rose tie in. ( Iâm not in Europe so I have no idea⌠other than everyone said that they had to ship product to Switzerland for repairs.)
The launch of the RW800 implicitly demonstrates that the original Android 7.x-based operating system has reached the end of the road and cannot be updated, forcing customers to resort to a makeshift hardware workaround. Furthermore, adding another powered device compromises the purity of the audio chain by introducing potential electrical noise and superfluous conversion stages. That is just my personal opinion, of course.

It is simply unacceptable that, to unlock essential features like Spotify Lossless or TIDAL Connect on top-of-the-line units costing over $5,000 (such as the RS130), one has to purchase an external âbridge.â

I canât talk about a strong presence because I wasnât there myself, but here they are in their own showroom, or am I wrong?
Yes, and youâre right. The commentator of this video says it exactly: **Piega is not represented in the high-end this year, but somehow it is. **
Their gear could be used in partnership w another vendor.
MoFi did this w Rose gear. RD160 in the stack, listed, but not featured on the door.
Stuff like that.
Well, lets see how this plays out.
In Germany you can order now the RW800 for 125⏠e.g. from Projekt Akustik, which Iâve done for two pieces.
