REVIEW & AWARDS
HiFi Rose RS250A Network Attached DAC - Read More
"HiFi Rose's ability to reinvent and refine continues apace with this compact network player/DAC/preamp. The Rose Connect app offers excellent flexibility while the RS250A is memorable for its 'widescreen' user-interface and, above all, highly competitive sound. Packed with detail and real insight into what's being played, it has an even-handed approach with all kinds of music, and is a hugely involving listen." - Andrew Everard
HiFi Rose RS250A Network Audio Player Review - Read More
"Ultimately, I think it’s easier to avoid thinking that the ability to recreate MTV circa 1984 is not a gimmick because the fundamentals of the HiFi Rose are so solid. Viewed objectively, this is a well built, functionally excellent and unconditionally stable streamer that will keep rivals at the same price point honest. More than this, it’s a fantastic piece of industrial design that is laden with surprise and delight features which, if and when the mood takes you, gives the RS250A a genuine, unique selling point. For those of you still keeping source and amp separate, this is a well thought out option that comes Highly Recommended." - Ed Selley
Review: HiFi Rose RS250A – Streamer with many extras - Read More
"The most important thing is that this HiFI Rose offers something quite unique. And then we are not just talking about the large screen. It knows how to seduce with many nice features that you rarely find elsewhere. It is also particularly nice to have your music presented like this while listening. The RS250A really invites you to keep playing music.
Moreover, HiFi Rose has not only built a device that tries to entice you with a large screen and many streaming options. The broad connectivity and good DAC make this more than an everyday streamer. In short, you can go in many directions with this device. That makes the RS250A particularly future-oriented. You can use it now as a total solution, but later, for example when purchasing a better DAC, continue to use it as a pure streamer. A real all-rounder." - Jamie Biesemans
