I'm seriously thinking about getting a RS130. My DAC is a T+A DAC 200 - anyone heard that combination?

For the T+A I would (if SQ stays on the first place) prefer as streamer a NAA client like the Holo Audio Red, which is able to send native DSD1024 to the DAC.
The RS 130 will output DoP and can't use together with HQPlayer as NAA client.

Burkhardt is right. I went from a holo audio red and it does have NAA client capabilities but in my setup I have the DAC200 connected to USB directly from my Roon/PC and then the 2nd USB port connected directly to the RS130. I did a lot of comparisons between the two streamers and even though they sounded different from each other (both are excellent)I liked the presentation the RS130 gives me with the screen and being able to connect to my TV and play Youtube videos. In roon I can only upsample to DSD256. If I choose DSD512 I do not get sound to the RS130. I love my RS130.

Hopefully they will add NAA compatibly.

Of you can add NAA via a UP board.

Thanks @Burkhardt, @NEXTLEVEL5 and @Psilonaught for your replies. I’ve actually got a Holo Red which I’ve been using with the DAC200 but I was going to move it to my Ferrum Wandla/ OOR/ Hypsos Headphone setup and use the RS130 with the DAC200. Maybe I’ll just get another Red then! Never managed to stream DSD1024, can only get to 512 with HQPlayer and Red as NAA client. As a Mac user Roon is limited to DSD256 via DoP.

Can’t comment on your DAC but I’ve been extremely happy with the RS130 with my Chord Dave for the last 6 months. Brilliant piece of kit

Ordered a RS130 today - too many +ve's to ignore!

Congrats! Great decision. For best performance it really is worth getting the SFP kit for fibre Ethernet connection

I do have access to the 150-B I sold and have plans to borrow it to put it against AfterDark‘s new server streamer along with an outstanding AudiophileStyle DIY server including a Rockna WaveDream Net .

So what was your findings on SQ between these streamers? Please tell!

Has anyone tried the Gold Note EVO or Plus?

Where/How do you get that?

I guess it depends where you are based as I'm in the UK and got it from my dealer here...

Really makes a positive difference to your stream

I prefer my wifi6 router to ethernet, have you tried WiFi6?

It's just a Fibre Media Converter. Buy two from Amazon.

Tried it briefly along with standard cat6 Ethernet cable and the fibre connection kit. Of all 3 the fibre connection with separate linear power supply was superior in performance in my chain.

The other issue is I wasn’t really a fan of the big WiFi antenna.

Thanks! Are two needed? Why?
