Note About Initial Network Connection
When your RS150 connects to your network for the
first time, it will automatically look for the latest
software update. If available, the RS150 will install
the newest version. When updating, the Red LED
below the Right Knob will blink twice, pause and
repeat.
You may adjust how future updates are handled. See
“UPDATE Menu” on page 12.
Roon
When connected to your network, the RS150 will
be available as a Zone for your Roon server. (If you
have a Roon server.) The RS150 can be connected
to your Wi-Fi using AirPlay (see “Wi-Fi connection
using an iOS Device” on page 5) or Chromecast.
It can also be directly connected with an ethernet
cable.
Tidal Connect
To listen to music on TIDAL through the RS150,
using the Tidal app, select the content you want to
play and then select the connect icon
on the
Now Playing page.
This will bring up a list of nearby devices to stream
through. Locate the RS150 and select to pair.
If you are unable to find your device, make sure the
device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you
are streaming from.
Once paired you can use your TIDAL app as a
remote. TIDAL is compatible with select smart
assistants that enable voice controls. Depending on
your region, you may enable this feature by linking
your TIDAL account with your selected smart
device. This option can normally be found in the
Settings section of your respective Smart Devices
app.
Spotify Connect
Use your phone, tablet or computer as a remote
control for Spotify. Go to spotify.com/connect to
learn how.
Qualcomm® aptX™ Audio
aptX™ is a codec that can provide CD quality
music over Bluetooth connections. The RS150
will automatically utilize aptX when connected to
a source that supports aptX. Simply connect with
Bluetooth as described in “Quick Start (Bluetooth)”
on page 4.
The RS150 also supports the higher resolution aptX
HD (24-bit/48kHz). If your device utilizes aptX HD
then that resolution will be utilized automatically.
The RS150 also features aptX LL (Low Latency)
which automatically ensures Bluetooth can deliver
sound in sync with visual media. It reduces
delay and improves end-to-end speed of the
audio transmission, resulting in a high quality,
synchronized user experience with any transmitting
device that supports aptX LL.
