Oh Mike, don’t take it so seriously.
As I said, @BorisM, his comparisons always make me chuckle when I read them, sorry.
Yeah, this audiophile nonsense has been debunked pretty much when Marconi started making radios.
Which cetails? That you believe in lossless BT, REL making subwoofers, and the tooth fairy?
Of course not. There is nothing special about Rose sound, it’s (well, apart from RD-160 which is competing at AliExpress level) as fine as anything using ESS chips, off the shelf parts, and a reference design.
Just because the nice salesman convinced you that your iFooFoo sends lossless BT sudio to a REL “subwoofer” fed by another customer’s reject 520 does not mean that it makes any kind of special sound. It just means that you are a gullible consumer with no clue, and next time he will sell you some used quantum dots, too.
And no, not all Class D amps sound the same. A $5 job from AliExpress, or that 1000WpC amp from J.C. Whitney that you have in your Civic with huge exhaust don’t sound the same as something competently made (by the way, it’s not 1000 Watts either). Some particularly incompetent companies (like Hegel, or anything Borressen touched) manage to screw Class D fine, but Rose didn’t invest enough in misdesigning their amplification stages, they saved the effort on crippling sub outputs and coming up with the ugliest design possible.
Clear sign of a rather borked design that won’t play nice with many speakers.
It is. Just like it is in any number of better designed amps at less than half the price.
For commodity products like streamers with generic amplification, features are THE number one criteria. Get back to us when you can tell a 520 from a NAD C 389. A 399 with dual subs would sound noticeably better though.
Or anyone else with a brain and some education in physics.
I don’t take Boris seriously, other than he’s a serious bore.
He doesn’t understand second order distortions.
Nor does he understand analog signal processing and how its differs from digital signal processing.
He also doesn’t understand how standards committees work and how you can get something released even though the spec hasn’t been finalized.
And I seriously have doubts if he’s ever picked up a soldering iron and did any DIY electronic work…
You keep saying words that you do not understand (which is understandable, American education is a joke). But it gets pretty old when you keep repeating whatever BS the salesman told you in order to move someone’s sloppy seconds. You wouldn’t have pointy haird, would you?
So Boris are you an EE? Software Engineer?
Ever work with or talk to any standards committee?
Actually took a circuit class? (Analog, or Digital)
Somehow I doubt it.
You know what pissed Amir off the most?
I asked him to explain how his ‘tests’ dealt w sound stage, separation, etc … all the things that audiophiles describe about their listening experiences. He couldn’t answer that.
Nor can you.
So Boris… go back to playing w your XBox while your mommy makes you a hot pocket.
Of course you do. Because you are a typical PHB and have absolutely no idea what any of those fancy words you keep using actually mean.
And yesm, IU am., Learned more physics in high school than you had ever seen in your basket-weaving class.
Having to repeat the same thing to every idiot that comes in thinking that they know something no scientist does?
Of course he could not. Neither can anyone else, because “audiophiles describe” meaningless drivel about “soundstage” and “darker blacks” and “lifted veils” and “wife heard from the kitchen” after they had replaced their cheap fuses with $600 ones.
He could not. I can’t. And neither can you. It’s non-falsifiable nonsense that has no basis in any objective reality.
Is that your dream life? Maybe one day your family will be able to get you that Xbox instead of the second-hand NES you are dropping pieces of an already-eaten hot pocket on right now…
Last week, HiFi Rose mentioned that this week they will finally release the firmware updates for the RS151. Can you give a schedule?

That I want also to ask.
And please: Stop this kindergarten discussion in nearly every thread, which makes this forum more or less senseless.

Hello,
I received the new update. Is it possible to get the patch notes for the new RS151 version 5.9.08 update?
Thanks,
Fred
