Blah blah blah. Maybe I’ll be interested in your opinion when you can actually afford a modest loom of cables . This is Rs130 forum, if you don’t have , your opinion is not valued . You should stick to entry level component discussion, your system level and ownership knowledge is not on the level we are discussing here. Your components are still beginner stuff. It’s like white belt (Boris) telling black belts how to train . Boris you still need to reach higher component levels , you are still very low on audiophile world levels, maybe one above baby. You’re entire system worth less than a lot of our single cables. It’s apple and orange, you just wouldn’t understand .
The discussion of whether interconnects brings different SQ is like arguing if there’s a god or not. If you believe one, there is one. If you don’t, then there isn’t. You could be on the Hawkin side or on the Einstein side.
Thanks for your time and it’s my last response to you.

His component level is still beginner, using all in one, you can’t expect him understand higher level of audiophile journey .
Tom, I just added SFP between rs130 and rd160, the sound reached a new level of stunning dynamics, body, richness, transients , timbre, realism , I am SO HAPPY . THANK YOU ROSE.
Great ! Congratulations.
I just ordered the Melco C1-D20 DAC cable. Hope that the DAC cable is really better than the SFP as many other users claim. 
I ordered Corning o2s Lc Lc
I ordered the Corning as well. The fiber optics I am using are from a number of Chinese manufacturers. They sound differently. I picked one that excels to my ears.
Just wonder if the Corning is the better.
Compared to the fiber optics, the DAC cable is really expensive. I hesitated for a long time before I jumped to it.
Mutec ref10 ref clock and Sotm cable looks interesting too. One of guys here has it and recommends in addition Melco cable.
To tell which is the best to our system (no one solution fits all), we have to try them one by one. Of course, I can only get and afford a few from hundred brands.
Exactly. It takes awhile and a lot of systematic work , patience to find the synergy between components. One audiophile gave me the good advice, he said treat your cables as you would any other component during selection.
I don’t want to offend anyone here.
I said, buy what you want and if you think it’s useful for your conscience, go ahead and do it, but don’t forget to change the fuses and burn in a fiber optic cable (glass) so that it sounds better.
If my tubes burn in because they have a heating voltage applied to them, you can talk about burn in…but a fiber optic cable???
You’re right, we have two different opinions. We’re going in different directions and will end this now.
It was still interesting for me to take part in this chat. (I mean that seriously)
I’ll get in touch when I hear the angels singing with their harps in the moonlight.
A lot of people denied a lot of things until they actually try. Nothing beats experience.
Autosuggestion!!!
Let’s end the topic.
Have a nice Sunday
When it comes to subjective listening, user experience is the ultimate criteria. Otherwise you’re like the $200.00 dac that measure well but sound like dirt. That’s the point, you need experience with good and reputable components to develop your ear, otherwise you like Boris and Bonte, using beginner equipment, but using imagination to criticize far superior equipment they don’t understand or have experience
Thank you for your understanding.
We just have different opinions on a hobby we both have. There’s really no need to come to the extreme end of “Right” or “Wrong”
Some of my friends like the IsoAcoustics Orea a lot. They put them under every piece of their equipments. I am on the contrary don’t like the Orea at all. It’s a simple different preference (or direction) we chose as you said.
My system is far from “angels singing with their harps” But I do enjoy the music from it in the moonlight.
Thank you and you too have a nice weekend.

Well said. Believe it or not, I replaced my speaker cables six months ago with a brandless DIY pair, which is 7 times less in price than the famous brand I’ve been using for over two years.
Don’t get me wrong, the brand cables are still pretty good.
I eventually chose the inexpensive pair because the music from it sounds nicely to my ears in A-B tests, though a little differently. And price-performance-wise is exceptional. Frankly speaking, both are not flawless and have weaknesses in different areas.
Before the test, there’s no beautiful data sheet or advertisements brain-washed me.
Surely this doesn’t happen all the time. But the world is full of surprises, and nothing beats experience.

People who believe in it need it. People who have some idea don’t.

As usual, you are talking bullshit. Happens when a unique snowflake decides that it knows physics better than physicists.
Amusing. Does your daddy know that you are poking at his stereo? Tell him I can donate you some money next time you don’t have anything to it because he had spent his last dollar on a magic fuse.
Nope, it’s not, but being an idiot you did not notice that this is a “Rose Products” forum.
Indeed. It would take at least two bottles of whiskey for me to dumb down to your level.
Call me back when your system is all Burmester and Magico. So far, you are neither knowledgeable about anything (that can’t be helped, really, if you were born an idiot, you will die and idiot) nor do you have any high-end equipment. Must be a sad life when your only achievement is buying an overpriced cable and thinking it is something to boast about.
Yup, there’s no way I would make myself that stupid.
Your hallucinations are of any value only to you. It’s all fine and well that you are gullible and stupid enough to believe in power cords and can convince yourself that they make a difference. Shiny useless trinkets are good at keeping idiots occupied and happy. The magic part is that they ONLY work for idiots.

Please leave. You don’t have a RS130. This discussion has nothing to do with you. You belong in rs250 forum and rs520. You need to work your way up. You’re still very early on audiophile journey and you have a lot to learn before engaging with other seasoned audiophiles like me and Tom. As I stated many times, you simply don’t have the ownership expertise to offer a meaningful opinion. You’re nothing more than an annoying teenager at this point who needs to learn how to drive. You don’t even have a SFP , so you don’t even know what that sounds like or the differences. Please go back to beginner forum areas where you belong.

I never used the stock power cable that came with the unit. I bought an Audioquest NRG-4 power cable to use with my RS130. I’m not sure how much difference it makes as you’re still limited by the electrical wiring from your electrical service panel to your outlet. My music is stored on a Lenovo gaming desktop computer on an NVMe SSD. I’ve tried with a drive attached to the RS130 through the USB port. I don’t hear any difference between having it connected to the RS130 or going through my network. The 1 and 0 are still being delivered to the DAC. I run Bluesound on my other system and Rose RS130 on my 2 channel system so needed to have the music where both systems can read it.
