Problem is, people are spending 5000.00us on this product under the impression that SMB works. The advertising is deceiving. I’m pretty pissed about it. I’m not rich and I think I wasted my money.
Re File Transfers to 150B - I posted this concern on my new 150B way back in early 2022 and still too complicated to transfer a large collection from the Synology 920+ NAS to the now idle 4TB Samsung Internal SSD . So I just use it as a streamer or the original SMB connection to access the files from my NAS to play on the Rose via either HDMI to my Marantz 8015 for Video or using XLR to my Luxman 505 XII for music. I recently bought an Ever Solo DMP-A6 and so simple to use SMB - it virtually does the job for you of finding the NAS and making available all my PLEX files to use and/ or download to internal SSD. Unfortunately Rose while being an excellent well featured product in many ways it has generic software issues that unnecessarily complicate the user interface. I enjoy using both outputs but Rose Tube has limitations and recently I had the frustrating and unwatchable 1 min video cut out issue mentioned elsewhere and lip sync is major issue - well out beyond any corrections from the Marantz AVR. I cant spend the time required to constantly work on updates and improvements and from that perspective very disappointed with my purchase. Someone also mentioned their Sony HAPZ1 - I have the little brother Hap S1 and yes it works fine albeit with limitations compared to the Rose 150b I could not recommend the 150B or similar to a prospective buyer unless these issues become streamlined and automatic to the end user particularly given the comparative costs. I appreciate the company’s forums and endeavours to fix things but these ongoing problems should have a largely been predicted in the original design and build. That’s my take. Happy HIFI listening.
