Hello! I'm curious to know if or when HiFi ROSE plans on shipping the RS150 and/or RS150B model with the Asahi Kasei VERITA AK4499EX DAC Chip? I understand that Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM) who had a massive factory fire back in 2020 (which forced HiFi ROSE to then switch to the ESS Technology, SABRE ES9038PRO DAC Chip) is now producing DAC Chips again. Apparently, these newer generation DAC Chips are an upgrade and may have newer architecture over the Asahi Kasei VERITA AK4499EQ DAC Chip which HiFi ROSE used to use on the RS150. Can you share any details about this and any estimation on potential shipment dates for the RS150 and/or RS150B this calendar year? Thank You and I look forward to your reply. Cheers!
We're considering the AKM chip but no detailed decisions and schedule are made yet.
Delivery times of RS150B vary by region. Please contact your distributor. https://eng.hifirose.com/Distributors
