Perfectwave mkii or Rose RS250?

Lose the bridge card. I won't have a streamer in my house w/o a USB-A.

I practically had to pay PS extra for a Directstream DAC sans the card.

The DAC is great. You can plug anything into it.

The only HiFi Rose I have stopped working they will replace it. I don't think that their failure rate is as low as PS Audio.

That said, Paul prefers Innous.

If you really want a true picture of using hifi rose rs250 on a daily basis, go to hifi rose site and find link to community page. There are hundreds of pages of various bugs and device failures users are looking to correct. Moderator is knowledgeable, but she still answers lots of questions with polite “we are aware of that issue and we are trying to fix it” I could not believe how many users were unable to use unit in any capacity for certain days, then they would tackle and fix multiple problems. The hifi rose OS is really poor software. Looks like the unit OS is still in beta. After finding this I would stay away from the brand. Too expensive for such poor performance.
