RS130 not Roon Ready?

It would really be nice if you folks got this worked out soon. The HiFi Rose app is terrible and has all kinds of issues.

Might explain the delay in Roon certification. On the second hand, with Samsung now being the parent company, I wonder if other manufacturers will be so intent on wanting to be Roon certified. On the third hand :smile:, the parent company is now Korean. Maybe that will help HiFi Rose. Yā€™know, get in the car, drive down the streetā€¦ :wink:

Not sure if Rose management team aware of the issue as it becomes a customer satisfaction issue right nowā€¦ this definitely hurt their reputationā€¦

Their RS130 ad in the latest Absolute Sound still has Roon shown in the ad print.

Itā€™s Roon ready now according to the Roon website

Finally.

Congratulations, Rose!
Fingers crossed that this approval didnā€™t catch Rose unprepared to release the necessary update.
Iā€™ll be looking for a new entry in the store.

So do we need to wait for a firmware update to the RS130, the Roon app or both before we can use Roon with the RS130?

Iā€™ve upgraded to latest Roon version and I am able to successfully use Roon with the RS130. The only thing I do not see is to upsample from PCM to DSD within Roon.

Thanos,

I upgraded Roon. I enabled the RS 130 as an output device. How do I get it to play on the RS 130?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I thought there would be an app in the Rose Store for Roon. There isnā€™t. So how did you get Roon to play on the RS 130- and integrate playlists etc? Iā€™m running the Beta so maybe the app isnā€™t there because of that.

With the Roon Remote apps for iOS, Android, MAC and Windows:

Umm, same way you play to any other Roon Ready device ā€“ enable it in Roon - Settings - Audio, select the device in Roonā€™s bottom control strip, and queue something to play.There wouldnā€™t be any app or anything needed on the Rose.

Hello, thats great the wait of RS130 Roon Ready is over! Wondering playing Roon with RS130 caching is still working? As I donā€™t see Caching logo to appear when using RS130 as Roon Endpointā€¦ Or this is still working behind the scene? Thanks alot!

RAAT is a real time protocol (otherwise grouyp sync would not work), there really should not be any noticeable cachingā€¦

I am finding network less stable and lots of restarts - any hints as to settings that produce more stability ?

Hi guys, did you notice in the Rose announcement, that with the certification, itā€™s required to restart Roon for the upgrade to take effect?

BTW, it didnā€™t help me to take the full advantage of having maximum resolution in either pcm or dsd through Roon (thatā€™s working through the Rose app, though). Any tips to get this working?

Hi @Jobbie, good seeing you here!

Thanks for your warm welcome @Tony22!

I figured it out by disabling software volume control on the input/output settings on the RS130. However, I can only upsample to DSD256 (DoP) If I enable DSD512 to upsample I get no sound.
