Description
Hoppa! Hifi Rose’s dedicated dac. We have had the other stuff in our house for some years and after the RS130 streamer (without a dac) we too thought it was time for a serious dac. Warm and rich, as we are used to from Rose, but at a much higher level than the internal dacs of their dac streamers. Delicious! Again, the controls do not raise any questions, the construction exudes confidence. The modest lights behind panels are cool as far as we are concerned, this makes optically combining with the RS130 very doable.
This model features an advanced digital-to-analog converter that ensures accurate and detailed sound reproduction. It supports several high-resolution audio formats and offers extensive connectivity options, including USB, optical and coaxial. The bright touchscreen display offers intuitive operation and shows album covers and playback information. There is also a built-in headphone amplifier for personalized listening experiences. The construction is solid and designed for optimal performance. Regular firmware updates keep the system up-to-date with the latest features and improvements.
