HiFi Rose RS520 All-In-One Network Streamer

RS520 by HiFi Rose is an all-in-one product with built-in network player, DAC, and amplifier, consolidating all main hi-fi functions into one modern touchscreen-fronted unit. Just add speakers and away you go!

The DAC module is equipped with the flagship ES9038PRO chip of ESS technology, while the powerful class-AD amplifier uses a new material GaN (Gallium Nitride) FET to dramatically reduce dead time and maximize linearity.

More than just a source device with a built-in amplifier, RS520 is a true all-in-one product with each stage expertly specified to deliver a performance that rivals far more expensive multi-box systems. Even when matched with larger or more difficult-to-drive speakers, it delivers a more delicate and elegant sound quality that is controlled and uniform across the frequency range.

Four of the surfaces comprising RS520’s elegant housing are made from a single piece of high-durability aluminium, which reduces the number of separate parts required to produce the casework. This one piece production method dramatically reduces the risk of vibrations transferring through the body and significantly reduces standing-waves, which can affect the end sound quality.

Measuring 12.6-inches wide, the 1920 x 515 resolution LCD panel provides a crystal-clear display that is smooth and enjoyable to interact with for complete control of your listening experience. Core transport controls can also be found on top of the RS520, for ease of use.
