    "A Seriously Proficient Streaming Front End"

    With a focus on delivering pristine sound, the HiFi Rose RS130 network transport and music streamer is engineered to eliminate digital noise and ensure stable output. Its support for Fiber Optic Ethernet and Fiber Optic USB effectively blocks unwanted noise sources, allowing you to indulge in pure audio bliss. The built-in high-precision OCXO clock guarantees precise timing, maintaining a constant temperature for stable and accurate clock signals.

    Designed to captivate audiophiles both audibly and visually, the RS130 boasts exquisite crystal buttons that exude class and elegance. Complemented by a novel symbol logo-inspired vent, the RS130 ensures efficient heat dissipation while adding an extra touch of sophistication.

    "This is a seriously proficient streaming front end that is a pleasure to operate and look at," reports Ed Selley, hi-fi+ magazine, 25th Anniversary Issue, April 2024. "This device doesn't forget the golden rule of network streaming, that the experience must match the cleverness, and the result in a seriously impressive network front end that will drop into a wide selection of systems and delight with all of them."

    "I’d Place It on My Short List in a Heartbeat"

    "It’s beautifully executed, and it executed beautifully. It enhanced the musicality of every DAC it came in contact with," raves Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound magazine, May 31, 2024. "And its state-of-the-art graphic interface thoroughly enhanced the experience of selecting my music. I’d place it on my short list in a heartbeat."

    "After weeks of use and tests I can tell you is that this is the nicest sounding, nicest looking and nicest built streamer I have heard to date just using the coax and USB out," reports Steve Huff, STEVEHUFF Reviews, October 19, 2023. "I have yet to even try the fiber connections. This piece offers up a richness and depth to the sound that is fascinatingly good while showing off its pure beauty. The way it reproduces space as well as weight is remarkable and the stage was so enhanced it became one I could walk right into."

    "This is a gorgeous piece and while it’s a streamer only it has everything needed to provide a stable, solid experience when serving up music and it does so with style, grace and ease."

    "Stunning, Simply Stunning"

    "Deeply impressed with the new Hifi Rose RS130 streamer," notes NuForce, whatsbestforum.com, December 1, 2023. "I'm using it with a very, very good quality external master clock (-118dBc @ 1Hz), so not an inexpensive combo, but if you want a state of the art front end, I highly recommend this combination. Stunning, simply stunning."

    "I also note that the accompanying app is also excellent, and extremely stable, and it also comes with a metal remote control which I find useful."

    "The 130 is a beautiful piece of audio bling. It's not just a pretty face. It's built like a tank and the components are first rate and has a very advanced design such as optical cabling," reports reviewer StandardModel, audiophilestyle.com, September 25, 2023. "The sound quality is superb."

    Pure Power, Pure Sound

    For the cleanest and most stable power supply, the RS130 employs a linear power stage powered by a high-capacity supercapacitor. This innovative approach reduces power supply noise to near battery levels, resulting in cleaner and more natural sound quality.

    Unrivaled Jitter Eradication and Noise Suppression

    Experience unrivaled sound quality with the high-precision OCXO. This cutting-edge clock source delivers an accurate and stable clock signal unaffected by temperature changes. Say goodbye to jitter in the audio signal and embrace a more stable and precise audio performance.

    The RS130 leverages Fiber Optic Ethernet to completely isolate network digital noise. It effectively blocks physical noise sources, including various network equipment. Similarly, the Fiber Optic USB employs optical conversion to separate pure data from driving noise, ensuring only flawless sound reaches your DAC.

    Seamless Synchronization

    Embrace perfect synchronization with the RS130's external master clock input. This intelligent feature ensures that audio data is output in sync with the master clock, eliminating jitter in connections between the audio source and the DAC for a harmonious performance.

    Music Cached for Perfection

    With a dedicated SSD for music caching, the RS130 ensures stable playback by eliminating the effects of vibration and noise from traditional HDDs. Delight in seamless network streaming with minimized delay errors.

    Operate with Your Mobile Device or Remote Control

    The Rose Connect remote control app completes the ultimate user experience letting you conveniently control and manage HiFi Rose devices. The remote control app works on various platforms, including iPhone, iPad, Android phones, and PC. Additionally, you can control the device simply and easily using the provided Bluetooth remote control.
