Jeff,
Good Sir, don't get me wrong. It's no secret here that I like streamers! There reaches a point however where I expect Heady Claims from the Mfr, to be supported by Substantive Lab Verification of such claims. A morning of research into the Rose turned up little more than a LOT of advertising , Anecdotal comments, and more than One Data-Less "Reviews" with their Scotch-Fueled, Teary-Eyed Poetry that convinced me of nothing.
In my increasingly Pragmatic mind, what can any of us do to somehow expect MORE than a Bit-Perfect representation of a Digital File on our Computer? Surely it seems that Rose has THAT matter covered...while Walking on Water, Turning Water into Wine, etc.
Lest we forget...We've seen here, more than one such Boutique Device that cannot pass Bit-Test, while a Bus-Load of less Well-Dressed devices routinely do so with ease.
It's your choice Jeff.
Best Regards,
Curt
