I use the Conductor app on my Aurender. But Roon is definitely something to consider as well, thank you 
Iām also keeping my eyes open for a used McIntosh MQ 112 equalizer
I use Roon on the dac output for my 150 , the Hd 800 S really benefits from the bass boost.
But using the same Rose device as output for your speakers will be a problem.
I use the dsp in my active speakers to put things linear again

Yes, the HD800S only needs a little push in the bass to be perfect 
I donāt actually plan on using Roon; I actually quite like the Conductor app. I just need to figure out something for that little bit of bass offset.
Tomorrow Iāll connect the C47 to the RD160 to see how the headphone output performs. Itās no match for the McIntosh DAC (ten years old), then the Vincent head amp.is significantly better.
yes, 160 ā> C47 ā> headphones vs 160 ā> Vincent ā> headphones

Iāve tried a few things, but the C47 as a headphone amp only isnāt really an option. However, I still have a Focal Elear, and it sounds great with the RD160 and Vincent KHV200 without any tone controls. I think Iāll sell the HD800S and use only the Focal.I just need to buy some longer RCA cables so I can give the Vincent a better spot Iām still very happy with the HIFI Rose gear, it sounds amazing
Iām having a minor problem with the RD160 remote control. Sometimes it doesnāt respond to signals from the remote. I have to turn the device completely off and on again, and then it works again. Is anyone else with this DAC experiencing this, and what can I do?
yes, same issue happens on my RD160 too
hi @TomT
When the remote control doesnāt respond,
does it respond when you press the front buttons on the device?
Please send me the remote controlās MENU > SYSTEM VERSION > CPU version and Iāll check.

Hi @Rose_love
The situation happens most after the RD160 switched between different inputs. I would say once in every 20-30 switches.
When this happens, only the power button on the device works. I remember once or twice I needed to unplug the power cable to recover the error.
Version of my unit is: CPU: v1.24 and MCU:v1.0.1
I know thereās a newer version but I have no intention to upgrade it since there are users reporting the newer version generates other issues.
Frankly, the issue doesnāt bother me much as I mainly use USB only. But glad to see you guys promptly taking action to resolve it.
Thank you
@TomT
Thank you for your comment.
If you find the current version inconvenient, please share your email address and weāll send you an improved version.
The RD160 uses a manual USB update, not an automatic update, so if you encounter any issues, you can roll back.
Same issue for mine.
I would be delighted to test your new version; version 1.34 isnāt great, and I no longer have the old files to revert to the previous version.
I would like you to send me this new version, as well as version 1.17, which I found to be the best in terms of sound.

Yes.
Please send me the latest version, plus my current v1.24 and v1.17, just in case I need to roll back to earlier versions.
Thank you very much
@PatriceP
Iāll send you the version you requested by email.
I donāt see any sound-related improvements.
What is your primary output?
Please apply the version Iāve provided and let me know your feedback. Iāll review it in the same environment.
Thank you for your interest in the RD160.
Could you give us here you email adress ?
I donāt write here my adress mail for the others.
Thanks
