The RS250A's digital-to-analog conversion stage is equipped with a high-performance ESS ES9028Pro DAC, ensuring low noise and distortion for detailed, accurate, and rich sound reproduction. It also supports high-resolution streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512 as well as MQA.
The linear power supply used by the RS250A provides a clean and stable electrical signal to all the audio circuits and the processor, which is essential for achieving excellent sound quality. The power supply is shielded to greatly reduce the impact of interference on the signal and therefore the noise that could be transmitted to other circuits.
The RS250A chassis is made of high-purity anodized aluminum and meticulously machined. It effectively protects the components, limits the impact of vibrations that could alter the sound quality, while giving the unit a modern and elegant aesthetic.
The RS250A incorporates an MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) decoder, which allows you to play back this type of file and enjoy sound quality as close as possible to the original studio recording. In addition, MQA streams are light enough to stream.
With the RS250A, you can enjoy your videos stored on a storage device or streamed from services such as RoseTube, Tidal Video or Bugs, thanks to an HDMI output supporting Ultra HD 4K streams.
The front panel of the RS250A is dressed with a beautiful and large 8.8" high resolution IPS touch screen. This one offers an intuitive and practical interface, displaying all the playback information or the album covers. Moreover, this screen can read 60FPS video streams.
Rose offers its own Rose Connect control app, available for free on Android and iOS. It allows you to access your music and videos locally and on your network, via an optimized interface supporting many platforms and streaming services.
The RS250A also comes with a Bluetooth remote control, allowing you to control it from your chair.
The RS250A uses a custom Android 7.1 operating system, specially developed by Rose to provide a convenient and innovative playback environment. In addition to high-quality playback and streaming, it offers many services, including 4K video playback, access to YouTube, podcasts, numerous radio stations, and CD playback and ripping (requires a suitable device, not included).
The RS250A allows you to play music and video from a storage device such as a USB or SSD. It is also possible to access files stored on your network, from a NAS for example. Your songs can then be sorted according to many filters.
Enjoy audio and video streaming with Tidal's unique features. The app also supports MQA decoding for high-quality sound reproduction.
