Rose Connect Premium App

#1

Hello to everyone reading this comment.

I intend to contact the engineers at HI-FI ROSE, which are responsible for developing and writing the Rose Connect Premium app. The USA representative told me to write in this space to be heard by the manufacturer.

I can write based on my experience using several high-end streamers from high-end brands.
I use a high-speed wired Ethernet connection, and the app is installed on an Android S9+ tablet running Android 14 and One UI 6.1.1.

Please, HI-FI ROSE, address these points, which are vitally important for managing the music we listen to through the app intuitively and enjoyably:

  1. The track we are listening to should have a moving green bar, circle, or dot in the tracklist, indicating it is playing.
  2. The currently playing track window at the bottom of the screen should display the track name.
  3. The option to automatically detect and switch from internal streaming to optical, analog, coaxial, or USB should be available. The system does this from any external input to the internal input but not from the internal input to the external input.
  4. After a couple of hours of use, some tracks disconnect and reconnect.
  5. Offer the option to change the background color.
  6. Offer the option to enlarge the font size.
  7. Offer the option to customize the app’s bottom menu.
  8. Offer the option to rename and assign symbols to input devices connected to the streamer. EXP: On the optical input, renamed to CD player or DVD player.
  9. It would be great if the radio app allowed US customers to access Sirius XM.
  10. The registered model should appear in the device’s input/output settings. I have the RS250A, and the input/output settings show RS250.
  11. When connecting to AirPlay, there is sometimes a popping noise. The app doesn’t show that AirPlay is in use or connected. The connection is active and producing sound, but there is no description of it.

Thank you to all community members, and a very special thanks in advance to HI-FI ROSE for listening and providing this list of improvements to all users.

Best regards!

Here is the answer to your question.

  1. If you look at the picture below, the playback bar on the playback screen is displayed in yellow. It cannot be changed to green.

  2. The title and artist name of the currently playing track are displayed normally at the bottom of the screen.

  3. It is difficult to add a function that automatically detects analog, coaxial, or USB.

4-1. When the playback stops after listening to a music source for several hours, is it only for a specific music source?
4-2. What music sources, such as Tidal, Qobuz, and Rosetube, do you see this phenomenon?
4-3. Is the network signal of your Rose device strong enough?

5,6,7,8. I will forward your four requirements to the software team.
They will review them internally and add the parts that are possible or necessary.

  1. Additional issues for Sirius XM appear difficult to add internally, regardless of priority.
    I will once again pass this on to the software team.

  2. Do you want to change the input part of your RS250a I/O settings to RS250a instead of RS250?
    I will once again pass this on to the software team.

  3. When RS250a and iPhone are connected via Airplay, you cannot check it on the Rose device or app, but only on your iPhone. Please explain in detail when the noise occurs.

Hello ROSEHAN.

Thanks for your response.

Please see the attached screenshot showing you what I meant on my list of suggestions:

1- The track we are listening to should have a moving green bar, circle, or dot in the tracklist, indicating it is playing.

2- The currently playing track window at the bottom of the screen should display the track name.

Thank you!

Regarding #1, I understand the request for green (ie, in North America, green means go & yellow means be prepared to stop). If possible, move the 1st line (shown below the two purple images/background box) to the top of the screen, above the Album Cover ← do this because that line shows icons NOT directly related to the currently playing song. Add a spacer line, then display the Album Cover and then a spacer line, and then display the Song Title, Artist & Album Name ← show these 3 lines in a white bordered black box (black being the display’s background color).

Regarding #2, I suggest the Song’s Artist be displayed in the same font size & brightness as the Song Title & the Song’s Artist to be shown immediately under the Song Title. On the 3rd line, show the word “Album:” followed by " - ". Also, the Song Title to be scrolled right-to-left ONLY IF the Song Title’s length is greater than the line’s length minus 4.

  • I also recommend the orange line be preceeded with nn:nn and have mm:mm at the end of the line (nn:nn is the currently played time & mm:mm is the song’s total time.
  • Lastly, show the Volume line immediately after the orange line & show this line preceed with the correct words (ie, either "Volume Gain: " or "Volume: "), then show a spacer or half-spacer line followed by the Player Buttons line.
