I don’t understand when I paid 10 x price of a basic steamer there isn’t Spotify and Amazon app installed in the system , even the most basic systems have these , I’m not expert can’t be cause of hardware , cause how does tidel work ? , or is it there are licensing fees the hifi rose doesn’t want to pay apps solve the problem such as Spotify with lossless , why is it that it has to Spotify connect and not a app , $$$$

Can you read? You’ll have to resign yourself or get an external device. Anyway, for me, Spotify is crap. If someone likes it, they’ll buy it. I recommend Qobuz if you really want to spend some money on it.

You could still bring it back… 
I bought two!!! RS520’s in the past two years and now I have to buy two devices to finally have Spotify Lossless?? Really? Please Rose, you really have to come up with something else! I was told this was the ultimate streamer and now it cannot even do Spotify Lossless???

How to explain that a 4000 euros device needs one more equipment to work normally? For exemple a phone doesn’t need additional device to support spotify lossless… amazing…

Everyone wants something for free.
Not even the highly regarded Eversolo has Spotify loss
Really?!
Grammophone,
Are you sure Eversolo doesn’t have Spotify lossless?
" Yes, the Eversolo DMP‑A8 supports Spotify Connect (so you can choose the A8 as the endpoint from the Spotify app). Headfonia+3Soundnews+3www.av.com+"

Good for you and future customers then, I don’t have eversolo.
Funny, how EverSolo officially supports it and shows how to enable it using completely official device functionality, with no sideloading or workarounds, but some guy who doesn’t have one knows better. Of course.
Unfortunately there isn’t one so there’s no point in trying it
Man… is this true ?
That no Spotify lossless? Why ? Even my cambridge audio cxnv2 can play lossless…
I bought RS151 it’s in its way and I am reading this now that I have to buy another part ?
Yes you need another part, but don’t fret, it is wafer thin.
As long as you work on the issue, it’s good enough for me, I have both Qobuz and Tidal so there’s no stress😁. No other streamer can come close to Hi Fi Rose in the same price range anyway.

Yes, Rose certainly has carved out a place in this price range for sure.

Hello, Im the owner of a RS 130 here in Germany....the sound, the built of the housing and the large screen is indeed teasing and I enjoy it - no question. But apart from this the remaining (software) and implementation is not in the league of first class streamers but the price. This has been adressed a 1.000 times by users...but to be frank not much has happened from Rose side appart from the common excuses and promises...! How can it be, in particular when mentioned to be part of the Spotify design team, that a tool/device to enjoy lossless at Spotify will appear on the scene month later? No further info disclosed: price, decice, when etc. - only the usual Rose phrases. Its a pitty that Rose seems or is not willing to learn the lesson in a thousand years! Regards with a shaking head Oliver

I am satisfied with the standard program from Hi-fi rose premium in which Tidal works without any problems, stores all my playlists in my Rose account without being tied to Tidal. I am satisfied with the sound quality of the rs130 with my chord Hugo TT2.
As a fresh owner of the newest RS451, I’m also VERY confused by the explanation of Hifi Rose. My cheap (compared to the RS451 ) Motorola smartphone Edge60, my Sony TV, allhave received support in the Spotify App for Spotify Lossless by now…
The hardware of the RSline is able to handle the technical audio specs of Spotify lossless just fine. Spotify Lossless is less heavy due to it’s limited sampling rate of 44.1kHz. It’s just a software update and registration process. If too cumbersome via the Connect Feature, why not offer Spotify as an Android app, as on every other Android based product… and let it auto-update on the Android eco system…
It blows my mind. If they would tell us, give us 6 months… OK then. But it seems they’re missing some in house knowledge to go through the “certifications”. But then suddenly DO support it on the to be released hardware dongle/box. What a brilliant solution… , not. I’m giving it a couple of days, because a I have some other issues emailed to support. If left like this, I’m going to return the RS451.
