RD160 pair with RS150B

Hi, is any one thinking to pair the RS150B to RD160, do u think is a good idea???

Definitely not. The RS150B doesn’t have fiber optic connection, which is key to good sound as in the setup between RS130 and RD160.

Good point, Thanks…

There’s not much point to it as the DAC in 150 is as good as 160. Optical connection is one thing though that will not have any effect at all, except on exceptionally gullible people.

Please don’t believe Boris, he only own entry level streamer, he has no experience with RD160. His streamer doesn’t even have fiber optic SFP capabilities, he’s just a beginner in this hobby giving out misinformation. Rd160 is far superior than any other DAC rose has right now , especially with RS130 SFP connection.

As Tom said, best course is use SFP connection with Rose dac and streamer, this will yield best results and latest technology .

I had the Rs150b and I borrowed 3 days the Rd160.

The 2 Dac are very different.
