HiFi Rose RS250A Complete Network Streamer

The compact RS250A by HiFi Rose is a high-performance network streamer, DAC, and pre-amplifier with an output stage optimised for true audiophile performance.

Thanks to the coveted Rose OS operating system, intuitive touch-screen control and its extensive list of features, the RS250A opens up a wide world of high-quality digital music.

The RS250A is built around a first-class digital stage. Starting with the superior ES9028 PRO DAC chip and utilising an ultra-low phase noise oscillator, the streamer can support and convey the true quality of music formats up-to PCM 32-bit / 768 kHz and Native DSD512 (22.5792 MHz).

In the output stage HiFi Rose have made use of their new discrete op-amp technology which, alongside other premium technologies and materials such as the full linear power circuit, results in a sound performance that is full of character and benefitting from very low noise and distortion.

At the centre of each HiFi Rose streamer is Rose OS, a purpose-designed operating system that brings countless features to your fingers.

Incorporating streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music and Qobuz alongside industry-leading technologies such as Hi-Res Audio, Roon and MQA support, there is so much available to you.

RS250A functions as a complete digital hub and pre-amplifier, for a fully customised system set-up. With an extensive array of hardware inputs and outputs, including a high-quality headphone output, most of which can be customised or adjusted to suit the user’s exact requirements, you can achieve greater control over your whole system than ever before.

There is also the option to connect to the network by ethernet (preferred) or by Wi-Fi. The supplied Bluetooth remote gives seamless control over most of the Rose OS system.
