Description
HiFi Rose RS250A Network Streamer / Pre-Amplifier
The RS250A 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.
Engineered To Perform
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 / 768kHz and Native DSD512 (22.5792MHz).
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.
Versatile Connectivity
The 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.
Exceptional Build Quality and Intuitive Control
The RS250A is beautifully built using only premium materials. The attention to detail is obvious from the rigid, luxurious aluminium-panel construction to the understated style of its beautiful glass touchscreen display. This high-quality 8.8" IPS multi-touch screen, in combination with Rose OS, gives you complete control of your listening experience, optimising it for the very best performance. The dedicated Rose Connect app allows users to play all music and videos from local and network sources.
Flexible Local Storage Options
The RS250A has USB connections for local access to external digital music files. And an internal bay on the bottom panel lets you add internal SSD storage. The RS250A will recognize drives up to 4TB, which is more than enough for even the largest music libraries.
