HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Digital Transport Silver

HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Digital Transport Silver

The HiFi Rose RS130 is an uncompromisingly engineered high-end network transport for demanding digital hi-fi systems. It was specifically designed to transmit digital music signals to an external DAC with the highest possible precision and minimal interference.

Unlike a traditional network streamer, the RS130 has no integrated D/A converter and no analog output stage . This allows it to be combined with a high-quality external DAC, making it a particularly powerful digital source for high-end systems.

Precise digital signal transmission

At the heart of the RS130 is a sophisticated digital signal architecture. A high-precision OCXO clock ensures exceptionally stable clocking and helps minimize jitter.

Various interfaces are available for digital output, including AES/EBU, coaxial, optical, USB audio, and I²S via HDMI . This allows the RS130 to be optimally combined with a wide range of high-quality DACs.

Fiber optic technology for exceptionally clean signal transmission

A special feature of the RS130 is the consistent use of fiber optic technology . Both the network connection and the USB output can be implemented via optically separate connections.

This reduces disruptive electrical interference between the network, computer technology, and audio components. The RS130 is therefore particularly interesting for high-quality systems where the most interference-free digital signal transmission possible is paramount.

High-precision OCXO clock

The integrated OCXO clock base is one of the most important technical features of the RS130. It ensures an extremely stable timing reference for digital signal processing.

Additionally, the RS130 has an external clock input , which allows it to be synchronized with an external reference clock in appropriately equipped high-end systems.

SSD caching for music playback

The RS130 features an integrated SSD caching architecture. Music data can be cached and then played back from local storage.

This architecture was designed to reduce network activity during playback and to enable the most stable data supply possible to the digital audio path.

Extensive music libraries can also be integrated via network, USB storage or compatible network storage devices.

Extensive streaming options

The RS130 offers access to a wide range of streaming services and network functions. Supported services include TIDAL, Qobuz, Apple Music, Spotify Connect, AirPlay, DLNA, and Roon Ready .

Operation is convenient via the large touchscreen or via the ROSE Connect app for smartphone, tablet and PC.

Large touchscreen

The generous 15.4-inch touchscreen is a characteristic feature of the RS130. Album art, track information, playlists, and streaming content are clearly displayed.

The RS130 thus combines the operation of a modern digital music system with the high-quality look and feel of a classic high-end component.

Complex power supply

For power supply, HiFi Rose relies on a sophisticated linear power supply with supercapacitor technology . The aim is a particularly low-noise and stable supply for the sensitive digital circuits.

The power supply is therefore an important component of the overall concept of the RS130 and supports its consistent design as a high-end digital source.

Versatile digital connections

The RS130 offers numerous options for connecting to an external DAC or a high-quality digital system.

Available options include:

• AES/EBU
• Coaxial
• Optical digital output
• USB Audio
• I²S over HDMI
• fiber optic network
• External Clock Input
• HDMI output for multimedia applications

This allows the RS130 to be integrated very flexibly into a wide variety of high-end systems.

For demanding high-end systems

The HiFi Rose RS130 is aimed at music lovers who do not want to compromise on digital playback and already own a high-quality DAC or want to select one specifically.

Due to its consistent specialization in digital signal transmission, the RS130 can be used as a high-quality digital interface between streaming services, music libraries and an external DAC.
