granosalis Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Hello, I'm considering upgrades after selling my Lumin U2 mini. I'm looking for a device that is streamer-only, possibly also a music server but it's not mandatory. The important thing is that it doesn't have a DAC. This is for two main reasons: 1. I don't want redundancies in my system 2. I really like the way my TEAC VRDS 701 sounds which I have no intention of changing. I really wish the new streamer will have a 10M clock input because in the future I would like to buy a clock generator for my TEAC and I would like the streamer to benefit from it too. Thanks for the suggestions you can give me, up to now I haven't found much with these characteristics. Some streamers I have under evaluation are the Lumin U2 and the Auralic Aries G2.2. Unfortunately both don't have a 10M clock input (Auralic has a proprietary clock but this can be shared with the TEAC). Even if we want to leave aside the clock feature (which I am very reluctant about) I can't find any comparison between these two. If anyone has done any direct comparison I'd like to know what they think Thanks and regards, Giuseppe Link to comment
alecm Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Giuseppe, RS130 seems the most capable and nice-sounding device for a good price I see only one disadvantage, the lack of NAA (hqplayer) mode. granosalis 1 Link to comment

Hadn't considered Rose before, perhaps because this type of product gives me the feeling of favoring cosmetic aspects, for which I don't have much interest, but maybe I'm wrong. Specifically for the Rose 130 I see that it lacks a traditional USB port but uses a proprietary HUB with optical connection. Quite an unusual solution. Have you had the opportunity to compare it with products with the Lumin U2 or the Auralic G2.2? Thanks for the reply, Link to comment

granosalis Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 Does anyone have experience using Rose RS130 with a external 10M clock? Link to comment

Well I can report that we several of the many Mutec REF10 Nanos we have sold have gone to owners of Rose Audio RS130 units. They all seem to extremely pleased the combination. [They also are using one of the other REF10 Nano outputs with an EtherREGEN that is feeding their RS130.] granosalis and kyoya78 1 1 UpTone Audio LLC Link to comment
hallithorst Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Hi, Ustars C19, a CM4 Raspberry Pi based streamer, comes with a 10Mhz clock input. It's getting nice reviews from users on the French forum-hifi.fr. Only on AliExpress, but surprisingly low-cost at around $300. I plan on getting one soon to test with LHY Ock2.
