RS150B Roon Ready & MQA Full Decoder

#1

Hi,

I am new to the community. I am willing to buy a new RS150B (with the Sabre chip). I s it Roon Ready and is it capable of MQA fully decoding?
Looking at the specs of RS1550B in the site, seems that it is Roon Ready and it has MQA Full Decoder only with the AK4499EQ DAC Chip (it is indicated with the brown colored words at the specifications section: brown the AK4499EQ, brown also the words Roon Ready / MQA Full Decoder and also brown colored the Hexa Core CPU and HDMI ARC.
And finaly, is there any sonic difference between RS150 and RS120B?

Thank you in advance and looking forward for your answer.
Akis.

Hello,

There is difference between RS150 and RS150B.
The biggest difference is the difference in the DAC.
AK4499EQ for RS150 and SABER ES9038PRO chip for RS150B are used.
Both are world-famous high-end chips.
You can think of it as a difference in taste.
Other than DAC chips, it’s very similar.

It supports both RoonReady and MQA Full decoding.
