ROSE RS130

The Rose RS130 is a reference digital transport designed to deliver high-end audio performance with maximum ease of use. It can be connected to an external DAC and ensures clean and precise digital signal reproduction thanks to Fiber Optic Ethernet and Fiber Optic USB, which block electromagnetic interference, and a built-in ultra-precise OCXO clock that maintains signal stability and timing consistency even in changing environmental conditions. It also supports an external master clock to synchronize multiple audio devices and minimize jitter.

The device combines flexibility, compatibility, and sonic fidelity, reproducing sound with such three-dimensionality and definition that every detail of the original performance is conveyed. Its aesthetic design is crafted to captivate both the ear and the eye, featuring crystal buttons and ventilation openings forming the HiFi Rose logo on the top panel. The chassis is made of high-quality aluminum, machined to reduce vibrations and effectively dissipate heat, available in Silver or Black finishes.

The Rose RS130 features a large 15.4-inch high-resolution multi-touch display (1920x382), which clearly shows album covers, videos, and information from any viewing angle, providing a simple and engaging user experience. Network connectivity is managed via optical SFP modules capable of transmitting digital data free from interference, while the fiber-optic USB output ensures noise-free signals from connected sources.

The power section combines a high-capacity supercapacitor with a linear power supply, providing stable and clean current, minimizing noise, and delivering optimal performance with deep lows, detailed mids, and clear highs. A dedicated NVMe SSD for audio caching reduces latency errors and vibrations, enabling stable, coherent playback without degradation of sound quality. The chassis physically separates power and digital circuits, and all input/output terminals are isolated to prevent interference. The AC power unit handles voltages from 100 to 240 V, while the DC power supply provides 15 V / 6.67 A, ensuring stability even under heavy loads.

The Rose RS130 integrates a CPU running Rose OS with dual graphics cores to simultaneously support LCD and HDMI output, with Hi-Speed asynchronous USB 2.0 audio support up to PCM 32bit/768kHz and DSD512. The internal 10 MHz OCXO clock ensures precision and stability, reducing jitter and maintaining perfectly synchronized signals, with the option to connect an external clock. The toroidal linear power supply and separated circuits provide maximum signal cleanliness and protection from electrical noise, while high-conductivity automatic switches replace standard fuses, ensuring stable and powerful signals.

The system supports music and video playback from USB, SSD, NAS, DLNA, UPnP, and streaming services such as Tidal, Qobuz, Apple Music, Spotify, and RoseTube, including Ultra HD 4K video and high-resolution audio. The RS130 enables CD ripping in WAV or FLAC via an optional USB CD drive, with storage on media up to 4TB. The proprietary ROSE Connect app and included Bluetooth remote provide full, convenient control, while Rose OS grants access to podcasts, internet radio, playlists, and libraries organized by artist, album, genre, or folder.

The Rose RS130 represents a complete and versatile solution for home theater enthusiasts, combining advanced network technologies, optimized buffering and caching, precise clocking, stable power supply, and an intuitive graphical interface, all housed in an elegant aluminum chassis designed for durability.
