RS250A - Can't connect Qobuz or my DAC

#1

I am having two issues with my brand new RS250A

  1. I can’t figure out how to connect Qobuz to the Rose app

  2. The Rose app cannot identify my PS Audio Perfectwave DS DAC. I am trying to connect through the USB out on the Rose

Any advice will be appreciated.

Update…I have successfully connected Qobuz to my account. But I still cannot get the RS250A to recognize my DAC. I am using an Audioquest Diamond USB A to B cable to try to connect to my PS Audio Perfectwave DS DAC.

Have you tried using a real USB cable?

Not sure why anyone would want to connect a BS Audio to a Rose, which has much better DAC, but to each his own…

I’m using an Audioquest Diamond USB. That a great cable.

I’m sorry for misunderstanding…are you saying that the Rose has a better DAC than the PS Audio? The PS Audio retailed at $7000 and is a Stereophile A+ product. I can’t see how the Rose at $2600 is better.

As a piece of jewelry, probably. As a USB cable, it’s unlikely to even pass USB certification tests.

Yes. Pretty much anything, including Apple’s USB dongle for 10 bucks is a better DAC than BS Audio.

Bless your heart.

In any case, when troubleshooting connection problems, trying a different cable is a basic first step, even when using a real USB (or Ethernet) cable, something that FraudioQuest does not manufacture.

You mean your dac doesn’t recognise the Rose. There are a lot of settings for usb. Look at the specs for the dac and see if the Rose is set accordingly.

Don’t pay attention to Boris, he is a known troll.

Rose devices seems to be very sensible (I’m using a RS150 and a RS250 with external USB DACs) in “finding” the USB DAC.
Especially with the RS250 I tried a lot of different USB cables, until the DAC was found.
Working is for me the USB cable from the RSA780 and the USB industry cable from Intona.
Not working we’re cables from Oehlbach, Audioquest and a lot of noname cables.

You really should stick to just getting drunk. Not talking nonsense about DACs recognizing their sources.

But then you are a dolt who buys fake cables from China and thinks himself very smart for it…
