Description

The HiFi Rose RD160 is a high-end digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and preamplifier, designed to deliver exceptional sound quality with advanced engineering and aesthetic appeal.

Key Features:

  • Dual-Chip DAC Architecture: Utilises two AKM chips per channel—the AK4191 for digital filtering and the AK4499EX for final conversion—to minimize noise and crosstalk, ensuring a pure and natural sound.

  • ROSE CIM™ Architecture: Features a completely isolated design that separates digital and analog processes, enhancing signal integrity and achieving a high signal-to-noise ratio.

  • ROSE DPC™ Module: Incorporates a high-precision OCXO clock to synchronize digital signals, reducing jitter and maintaining accurate timing for clear audio performance.

  • Triple Linear Power Supply: Employs three custom-designed power units to independently supply power to the digital section and each analog channel, minimizing interference and preserving signal purity.

  • High-Resolution Support: Handles PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz and DSD512, with four upsampling options and six digital filters to tailor sound to personal preferences.

  • Versatile Connectivity: Offers multiple inputs, including coaxial, optical, AES/EBU, HDMI I2S, USB, and SFP USB, along with balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs.

  • Elegant Design: Housed in a solid aluminum chassis with a “hidden” OLED display and intuitive controls, combining functionality with a sleek aesthetic.

The RD160 is ideal for audiophiles seeking a DAC that not only delivers pristine audio performance but also enhances the overall listening experience with its innovative features and sophisticated design.
