Thoughts Please On HiFi Rose RS151

[BiggaJ]

The time has come to thin out my system, I'm finding less and less time now playing vinyl and CD's and I'm connecting to my amp via ApptX using my phone, it's far more convenient. My system comprises of Rega Planar 3, RB330 arm with Ania MC cartridge and the Rega speed controller, Jays Audio CDT2 Mk2, Electrocompaniet Phone stage (Cant recall the suffix), Gato Audio 250s NPM and playing through Audio Physic Classic 15 floorstanders.

The idea is to sell the turntable, turntable controller, CD player and phono stage and replace all of this with a HiFi Rose RS 151 rip my CD's to it and stream my music, radio, Tidal etc. I'm aware the Amp I have has a DAC installed but my feeling is the DAC in the RS151 is of a much higher quality, this being an ES9039 pro(ess). By all accounts a fairly hi end DAC.

Does anyone have any experience with this Streamer/DAC and what are your thoughts?

Doesn't your Gato Audio 250s NPM provide network streaming? In which case do you want to consider ripping your CDs to a NAS and utilising the features you already have? Unless you have 4k to burn on the Rose RS?

It does but there is no screen, I've never properly looked into the NPM aspect of the amp. But it's a good shout.
