The RS250A is built with a high-performance ESS ES9028 PRO DAC chip and a linear power supply to ensure a low-noise, low-distortion, and ultra-high-resolution sound. Whether you're streaming from your favourite services or playing local files, this versatile component is engineered to bring out the very best in your music collection.

Effortless Control and Immersive Interface

At the heart of the RS250A is the custom-designed Rose OS operating system, which is based on Android and provides a seamless user experience. The full-colour 8.8-inch touchscreen on the front panel offers an intuitive way to navigate your music, view album artwork, and even watch music videos in 4K resolution. The screen can also be customised to display a variety of beautiful virtual VU meters, adding a touch of classic flair to your modern setup.

Versatile Streaming and Connectivity

The RS250A is a true digital hub, offering an extensive array of ways to connect and listen. It's Roon Ready, and includes native apps for popular services like TIDAL, Qobuz, and Spotify Connect. You can also play music and video files from local storage, a network NAS drive, or even a connected USB CD drive for ripping your physical CD collection. The unit supports AirPlay and DLNA, and features both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity for stable streaming.

Advanced Audio Technology

HiFi Rose has implemented several key technologies to ensure a pristine audio signal. The RS250A uses a high-precision Femto clock to reduce jitter and a full linear power circuit to minimise electrical noise. The discrete op-amps in the analogue output stage result in a sound performance that is full of character and clarity. With support for high-resolution audio formats up to PCM 32-bit / 768kHz and Native DSD512, you can experience music exactly as the artist intended.

Functions as a Digital Pre-Amplifier

More than just a streamer, the HIFI Rose RS250A can function as a complete digital pre-amplifier. With a range of configurable inputs and outputs, including a high-quality headphone jack and both variable and fixed RCA outputs, you can connect it directly to a power amplifier or a pair of active speakers. This gives you greater control over your system setup and simplifies your chain of components.

A Complete Multimedia Experience

The RS250A isn't limited to just music. The device's HDMI 2.0 output allows you to display 4K video content on a connected TV, making it the perfect centrepiece for a compact, high-performance audio-visual system. The inclusion of apps like RoseTube (for YouTube) and TIDAL Video expands your entertainment options, blurring the line between a dedicated audio component and a full multimedia hub.
