Channel: Stjernholm Reviews
Date: 2022-06-07

Is this just fancy-smancy, or do the RS150 have the substance for a long lasting musical relationship?  Independent AV Specialist Morten Stjernholm & Sound Engineer Tim Harris reviews the HIFI Rose RS150 streaming DAC product, that offers a impressive great big display for your HIFI rack, as well as trying to do so much more.  Morten uses it for a month, dives in and drops his the unfiltered & independent truth about his experiences with the product. 

The review sample was kindly provided by danish HIFI & Home Cinema specialist Custom Audio. Find out more about the company here: https://customaudio.dk/
