Crystal-clear sound without digital noise

HiFi Rose RS130 is designed to eliminate digital noise and ensure stable output. The network transport does this by supporting fiber-optic Ethernet and fiber-optic USB, which effectively block unwanted noise sources such as EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio-frequency interference). This ensures that you get a clean and undisturbed listening experience.

The fiber-optic technology also prevents electrical surges and spikes from reaching the RS130, protecting your components and improving overall sound quality. The built-in high-precision OCXO clock guarantees accurate timing by maintaining a constant temperature for stable and precise clock signals, reducing jitter and improving sound clarity and precision.

Refined aesthetics and technical perfection

The RS130 is just as much a pleasure for the eyes as it is for the ears. On top of the network transport, you will find exquisite crystal buttons and a ventilation opening designed as HiFi Rose's logo, ensuring effective heat dissipation. It is the embodiment of class and elegance. It not only enhances the appearance but also ensures that the unit always remains cool, giving you better performance and a longer lifespan. 

Clean and natural sound with a stable linear power supply

To ensure the cleanest and most stable power supply, the RS130 uses a linear power supply driven by a high-capacity supercapacitor. This innovative approach reduces power supply noise to near-battery levels, resulting in cleaner and more natural sound quality. The supercapacitor acts as a buffer that delivers steady power to the internal circuits, eliminating the small fluctuations that can affect sound quality. This provides a more stable and consistent listening experience, even under demanding conditions.

Unmatched precision and timing with OCXO clock

Experience exceptional precision with the high-precision OCXO clock. This advanced clock source delivers an accurate and stable clock signal that is not affected by temperature changes. Say goodbye to jitter in the audio signal, and welcome more stable and precise sound reproduction. OCXO (Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator) maintains a constant temperature, preventing the crystal from drifting away from its ideal frequency. This ensures that the signal remains stable, which is crucial for achieving the high sound quality that demanding audiophiles expect.

Perfect synchronization with external master clock

Enjoy perfect synchronization with the RS130’s external master clock input. This intelligent feature ensures that audio data is output in sync with the master clock, eliminating jitter between the audio source and the DAC for harmonious performance. By synchronizing the clock signal between the RS130 and your DAC, you achieve precise timing alignment of the data transfer, resulting in a more natural and coherent listening experience. This synchronization is especially beneficial for high-end systems, where even small improvements in timing can lead to significant improvements in sound quality.

Music caching for stable playback

With an SSD used for music caching, the RS130 ensures stable playback by eliminating vibration and noise from traditional HDDs. The SSD (Solid State Drive) has no moving parts, making it more reliable and faster than mechanical hard drives. This means data can be accessed and delivered faster, reducing delays and errors during playback. Experience seamless streaming with minimal latency errors, ensuring a continuous and engaging listening experience.

Extensive connectivity options with 4k video output 

The RS130 has a comprehensive range of connectivity options to accommodate any setup. In addition to fiber-optic Ethernet and USB, the RS130 also supports copper Ethernet and USB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, USB 3.0, USB DAC, I2S with multiple pin configurations, optical, coaxial, AES/EBU, and an HDMI 2.0 port for 4K video output. This versatility ensures that no matter your setup, the RS130 will fit in perfectly. The many connectivity options give you the flexibility to connect various sources and devices, making the RS130 a central hub in your hi-fi system.

Intuitive control with a large and beautiful touchscreen

HiFi Rose values the use of touchscreens as a more intuitive way to interact with their designs. With a 15.4-inch high-definition touchscreen, users can physically interact with the RS130 if they choose to. The screen offers all the options and settings that the app does, giving you the freedom to choose how you want to control the RS130. The large display makes it easy to navigate through settings and features, and the high-resolution screen ensures that all details are shown sharply and clearly.

Versatile control with your mobile device or remote control

The Rose Connect remote control app completes the ultimate user experience by allowing users to easily control and manage HiFi Rose devices. The app works across multiple platforms, including iPhone, iPad, Android phones, and PC. In addition, you can control the device simply and easily using the included Bluetooth remote control. This flexibility ensures that you always have full control over your audio setup, no matter where you are in your home.
