Converted into record time in one of the big names of the Audio High End, the South Korean Hifi Rose has demonstrated with its intelligent product portfolio that it is possible to combine bold ideas, Punta technology, extreme versatility, manufacturing of dream and reasonable price in a sector in which often the most exclusive achievements are beyond the bulk of fans. A way of doing things that masterfully corroborates the company’s most recent proposal, the Network music player RS151, one New Generation Digital Source which replaces the admired RS150b and benefits from substantial engineering innovations. Endowed with the iconic aesthetics of its predecessor (construction from the machining of an aluminum block included), the new Hifi Rose provides significant differences in technological, being the first one a signal processing circuitry equipped with the Rose DPC module (imported from the brand new external DAC RD160) and a D/A conversion scheme particularly advanced.
Of the DPC, acronym for “Digital Processing Core”, it should be noted that it includes Ultraprecise synchronism (femintosegondos) and improved alignment (DSD Rest) of the I2S interconnection bus (a format that separates the clock signals and serial data signals). On the other hand, the use of an ultramodern audiophile and 8 channels are 9039pro of the American Ess Technology, with Hyperstream architecture of 4th generation, it allows to reduce the level of “jitter” and increase the linearity, physically separate signal paths and maximize the separation between channels, which involves in terms of clarity, precision and spatiality. The second key refinement introduced in the RS151 (also imported from RD160) is the Rose NRA filteralias “noise reduction analog”, designed to eliminate noise and ensure a virtually flat response curve (20-75,000 Hz, +/- 0’5 db) even in the lower eighth of the spectrum, avoiding falls and reproducing with a extreme transparency The information contained in the most demanding “hi-res” recordings. In this sense, the sophistication applied to the design of the audio circuitry itself (executed with audiophile grade components and equipped with a linear power supply) makes it possible for the RS151 to exhibit some stratospheric records In parameters such as the signal/noise ratio (131’4 dB in balanced mode), the dynamic range (maximum of 150 dB with CCITT filter) or the total harmonic distortion rate plus noise (0’0002%).
Hifi Rose’s new “superstore” is also characterized by the Spectacular fluidity of its operation, thanks to a 8 core CPU RK3588 (with 8 GB DRAM), which multiplies by 4 the data processing and by 8 the graphics, to which the ability to support is added Great Libraries (more than 1 million clues). RS151 is completed with a Exceptional convenience of use Thanks to the combination of its large frontal display screen in high definition and a connectivity Improved, which includes an HDMI EARC and Bluetooth 5.4 compatibility, all with the management power provided by the refined operating system Rose Os and auctioned by functionalities as attractive to absolute sound enthusiasts as PCM signals (up to 32 bits/768 kHz) to DSD512 and prestigious approvals Roon Ready and “Plays with Audirvana”
