Review of HiFi ROSE RS150

Background I've been playing around with DIY network streamers for quite some time now, started with a Beaglebone Black with i2s output, which was terrible, raspberry pi with various DAC hats and ended up listening to digital audio on an Intel i5 mini-itx in a very nice fanless case from Streacom (highly recommended) with a Soekris DAM1021 (another piece of hardware which is highly recommended). But i got bored of tinkering with stuff and thought to buy an off the shelf network streamer and a good R2R dac, which remains my favourite. I bought a new DAC, MUSICIAN Pegasus (Review Here  and measurements from Audio Science Review Here ) which is a very good piece of ChiiFi i got my hands on, very sturdy, excellent sound quality, albeit lacks some features people may be looking for like changing filters, headphone amp, etc. I am very happy with it as just a DAC. The Pegasus, hooked up to a Minis Forum UM700 mini PC running Daphile  was driving my Trafomatic Audio Experience MK2  300B am
