Innovative high-performance streamer

I never anticipated the inclusion of a touchscreen in my stereo system, but after spending time with HiFi Rose's RS150B streamer, I'm left wondering why more streaming components haven't adopted this feature.

HiFi Rose's custom Android™ OS, integrated into this premium streamer/DAC/preamplifier, offers a user-friendly experience that feels intuitive to mobile users in general. Audiophiles will undoubtedly appreciate its commanding yet velvety sound quality. The touchscreen functionalities, such as the practical virtual back panel for managing inputs and outputs and the virtual VU meters, add an appealing touch.

Simplified Control
Growing up with vinyl and CDs, transitioning to streaming was a challenging proposition. However, the RS150B has changed my perspective. It connects to the internet via Ethernet or the included Wi-Fi dongle, and whether you use its front-panel touchscreen apps or the free RoseConnect Premium app for Apple® and Android devices, the interface is exceptionally user-friendly. The organization of your various sources, including streaming services like TIDAL, Qobuz, and Spotify, as well as music files stored on the device or your NAS server, feels akin to the user experience provided by Roon. (It's worth noting that this player also serves as a Roon endpoint.)

You also have the convenience of using Apple AirPlay® or the provided Bluetooth remote to manage the streamer. Automatic updates ensure that the RS150B keeps pace with evolving technology and expands its capabilities.

Articulate Detail in a Silent Setting
What truly stands out about the RS150B is its unobtrusiveness. This applies to both its user interface and how it handles audio signals, delivering them with remarkable clarity, an almost imperceptible noise floor, and minimal distortion.

Powered by a swift hexa-core CPU and equipped with a high-performance ESS SABRE DAC capable of handling 32-bit/768kHz resolution, it offers an impressive sonic performance. The digital clock is another vital component that significantly reduces the inherent digital music transmission distortions by precisely aligning the data intervals. The RS150B's femto clock boasts precision down to the femtosecond, which is one quadrillionth of a second, resulting in exceptionally smooth and precise audio reproduction.

Dive into the World of 4K Video
The RS150B's HDMI 2.0 output allows for 4K video decoding, offering endless video possibilities. With the RoseTube app, you can browse and play YouTube videos on the unit's full-color screen or, even better, on your TV. Additionally, its HDMI ARC connection ensures high-quality soundtrack audio for your viewing experience.

Exceptional Build Quality and Abundant Connectivity
The RS150B's substantial weight and meticulous attention to detail are readily apparent when handling the device. From its precision-milled aluminum chassis to the refined design of its seamless one-piece glass touchscreen display, you can sense its construction is geared towards vibration damping and long-lasting performance. Under the hood, a substantial toroidal transformer and isolated circuitry work in harmony to minimize unwanted noise.

On the rear panel, you'll find a wealth of digital connections, both balanced and unbalanced analog outputs for connecting to your amplifier, and an RCA stereo analog input. It offers versatile connectivity options, including the ability to connect a USB drive, HiFi Rose RSA780E CD drive, or even another CD player, as well as a turntable with a phono preamp.

Flexible Local Storage Solutions
With dual USB 3.0 inputs and a microSD card slot, the RS150B provides local access to digital music files. Additionally, all HiFi Rose models incorporate an internal bay on the bottom panel, allowing you to add optional SSD storage. The player can recognize drives with a capacity of up to 4TB, which is likely more storage than you'll ever need.
