Hifi Rose RS130
Beschrijving / Description
After teasing it at Munich High-End, Hifi Rose has formally announced a new flagship network transport in the form of the RS130. This is no streaming DAC. The RS130's multitude of digital outputs must be connected to an outboard converter: TOSLINK, coaxial, AES/EBU, HDMI-socketed I2S and optically-isolated USB. The Ethernet input has also been optically isolated. All streams enjoy NVME SSD memory caching and are clocked out by an OXCO, which according to HiFi Rose is the most stable and accurate clock currently available.
Taking further aim at electrical noise is the RS130's linear power supply whose super-capacitors reportedly reduce noise to battery levels and the processed aluminium case which reduces the negative influence of microphony on the signal path.
But the Korean manufacturer hasn't blitzed its way into the audiophile conversation with performance alone. Like many of its streaming cousins, the RS130's 15 inch full-colour touchscreen runs ultrawide across the full width of the front panel. I'm still not sold on watching YouTube videos on a 1920 x 382px screen. This is made possible by a heavily customised Android 7.1 OS and associated RoseTube app. However, a 4K HDMI output allows us to farm out the unit's on-screen action to an external display.
