Revolutionary Rose CIM™ architecture for crystal-clear sound

One of the main reasons for the RD160's impressive sound quality is the ROSE CIM™ architecture, which strictly separates the digital and analog stages. By keeping these sections isolated, crosstalk and electromagnetic interference are minimized, so that the signal remains untouched by noise. With AK4191 and AK4499EX DAC modules, a precision is achieved where even the smallest nuances in the recording stand out clearly. The result is a perfect balance between technical accuracy and organic musicality, conveying every detail with warmth and presence.

Balanced analog output for depth and realism

The RD160's analog output stage is built in a balanced dual-channel design that carefully separates the left and right channels. This construction eliminates channel noise, creates a large, three-dimensional soundstage, and delivers dynamics that move effortlessly from the most delicate note to the most powerful bursts. Every recording is presented with a compelling depth and realism that brings you closer to the original recording session.

Triple linear power supply with ultra-low noise

At the heart of the RD160's compelling performance is its specially designed triple linear power supply. This design dedicates separate power to both the digital input section and to each of the two analog output channels. By isolating the power delivery, distortion and digital "noise floor" are reduced, resulting in sound reproduction that appears clean, dynamic and without interruptions to the musical flow.

Rose NRA™ filter for smooth frequency response

The RD160 features the ROSE NRA™ filter, which ensures a smooth frequency response – even in the low frequency range. This advanced filtering technology reproduces your music with full tonality and precision, whether you’re listening to high-resolution files or classical recordings. Everything from the subtle nuances of the treble to the rich foundation of the bass is preserved with impressive uniformity and control.

Precise visual feedback and intuitive operation

The RD160's hidden front display combines understated elegance with ease of use. When activated, it presents a visual overview of sound curves, volume and other key information, creating a direct connection to the sound you hear. The tactile, instant response to each setting creates an analog sense of control, where the machine merges with the user in immediate and immersive operation.

The HiFi Rose RD160 is designed to combine technical perfection with musical soul. From the isolated DAC architecture to the accurate analog reproduction, the RD160 sets new standards for how close you can get to the original audio experience.
