Lovely setup. Would love to hear it some day as I too am from Pune. You too are welcome to my place in Kharadi. I have the cadence VA1 tube amp (which somehow I don't like much). Let's catch up one of these days.

The amplifier I have been waiting for quite sometime now finally built. TSE II 300B. Sound impressions once the amp is settled after some hrs on it.

That is a really nice setup! Are those Corian shelves on your rack?
Where did your source the Mutec Ref10 from? I'm looking at adding a Ref10 Nano.

@Nikhil They are acrylic afaik from sound foundations. It’s a heavy and solid rack. Very stable and It worked for me vs a solid steel rack.

Mutec I got from the US

AES always sounds better than USB to me. If you can live with a single sample rate, say 44.1 or 48, try some pro gear such as Motu 8D or Dante, you will most probably be surprised with what you are going to hear.

Hi @bornfi :)

Thanks for the headsup on the Motu devices. Iam completely new to Pro gear. Just curious if the Motu 8D acts like a DDC that is easier for most of us to understand, that is USB input with various digital outputs. Or is it like a multichannel dac. Read up on their page, but mention of Midi and ADAT went over my head 😇

Yeah, these pro gears look scary but they aren't. Once you get the purpose, your mind will start helping in sequencing the dots.

It isn't a DAC but just a multi-channel DDC however; we will be using just the two channels.

You will load the software onto a Win or Mac that will let you map USB in to AES out and you are set. The reason I pointed out single sample rate because the unit cannot change the sample rate based on the source but simply up/down sample according to situation.

Also, keep in mind that since this comes with its own SMPS, so, comes with SMPS vs LPS conundrum and yes, LPS takes the performance to next higher level.

In my audio experience (i think most would relate), 98% of things that are flashy and have unique aesthetic value, mostly will be about frills and end up compromising on the sound. Rose belongs to the rare 2% which backs the aesthetics with real quality sound.

+ Sounds Exceptionally Open and Transparent (heard it along side Lumin U2 and Aurender N200)
+ Remarkable openess in the higher end; Damn quiet as well !
+ Plays anything and everything (including its custom Ad free implementation of you tube)
+ Fiberoptic Ethernet port and Fiberoptic USB (Needs an adaptor device)
+ i2S Support
+ Amazing and Responsive Touch Screen with 4k HDMI out to Projectors or Bigger screen
+ Eye candy even when switched off

- Frustrating App (No where near aurendner's class)
- i2S implementation is limited and applicable only to specific DACs
- They tried to make a Social community approach baked in the App which feels like shooting in the dark without purpose
- Unusual screen size ends up being wasted in most videos; Album art and artist name display looks amazing though!

I beg to disagree here. Real audiophile grade products are not at all flashy, they are raw, crude like Bryston, Naim, Cyrus no frill amps without bass and treble. These brands concentrate only music to the ears, and not to please the eyes.
