REVIEW & AWARDS

HiFi Rose RS150B Streaming DAC Review - Read More

"The Rose 150B gave me many hours of great listening. I was impressed with the build-quality achieved at this price point; both the fit and finish as well as the component selection were all at a level I would expect for a component costing at least double the price of the HiFi Rose RS150B. The system is incredibly flexible, and using it in both my office system as a preamp/streaming DAC and in my main system solely as a streaming DAC illustrates just how much flexibility this system has. The few quirks in the software are very mild, and I think will be overcome by the Rose team, perhaps by the time this review is published. Most importantly, Sean Kim achieved his goal: This unit sounds fantastic. I have never heard streaming quality like this before and thoroughly enjoyed exploring new music with the HiFi Rose. If you are in the market for a streaming DAC with or without preamp capabilities, I strongly recommend that you audition the HiFi Rose RS150B. " - Rives Bird

 

Review: HiFi Rose RS150b Reference Network Streamer - Read More

"The HiFi Rose RS150b Reference Network Streamer is very easy to recommend as a digital hub and DAC, as it offers a broad range of access to streaming and file-based music, while turning digital sources into analog riches. What’s more, if we open our eyes and invite them to the party, I know of no other DAC/Streamer that also provides as rich and inviting an experience — like front row seats to a world of wonder. Whether you decide to run the Rose solo or add your own external DAC, the RS150b has the goods and then some to tickle your eyes, ears, and imagination." - Michael Lavorgna

 

HiFi Rose RS150B Streaming DAC Review - Read More

"When you roll everything up into one package, I think other offerings will better the Rose in individual areas but, as a total package, it is a very well thought out, well developed, diverse product that is offering a great many features and a lot of flexibility, and that is what I think makes it the one to beat. " -  Steve Crowe

 

HiFi Rose RS150B music server - Read More

"You can get a better streaming DAC for the Rose RS150B’s asking price but not one with anything like the feature set on offer here, nor the video processing powers. It’s sheer flexibility is remarkable in itself, never have I seen different levels of fixed output before nor has filter setting been so straightforward. It would be nice if more of these changes could be made with the app but I suspect that the app applies to more than one Rose device. All in all however this product sounds as good as it looks, and it looks pretty slick." - Jason Kennedy

 

Review: HiFi Rose RS150B - Read More

"There’s no doubt that HiFi Rose is a manufacturer we’ll be hearing more from. The uniquely beautiful RS150B is the most user-friendly music streamer, even by a wide margin. This is not only due to the crisp touchscreen, but also a user-friendly app and a clear user interface both on the mobile and on the device’s screen. It also has a brilliant DAC built in, and you can connect external hard drives with music or easily install an SSD for music storage, which you get immediate access to on the big screen. The HiFi Rose RS150B comes across as a cornucopia of clever solutions, and it delivers top-shelf sound quality. " - Lasse Svendsen
