La Rosita Alpha New wi-fi streamer

For Sale:  one La Rosita Alpha New WiFi network streamer/player

For those who don’t know, La Rosita products are the brain-child of genius Dan Bellity, who owns, designs, produces and operates DB System / La Rosita with his son in Grasse, France.  The unique WiFi technology utilized in all La Rosita streamer products was co-developed in conjunction with Apple engineers in Cupertino, CA, for audio playback.  Thus, all La Rosita streamers are designed, developed and produced to work flawlessly in the Apple eco-system.  With a very stable wireless connection from your Apple device to this streamer, Dan has further increased the sonic performance with his own audio technologies to take La Rosita steamers to a higher level of musical reproduction.  As all reviewers have noted, this unit is quite capable of producing very enjoyable music.

I purchased this unit 3-years ago from a Dealer as a demo unit.  It has served me very well in my primary system, bringing me hours of musical enjoyment.  Although this model was recently discontinued, it did originally sell for $ 2,500 USD in 2015.  The price went up to $ 2,800 after that.  The only reason I am selling is because I was able to make a substantial digital upgrade with a new Streamer and DAC combo.  This unit is in flawless aesthetic and functional condition.  Thus, I will rate it conservatively as an “9” for age only (but it looks and performs like a "10" on the Audiogon scale).  I have the original box, packaging, cotton cover, power cable, and manual.
