HiFi ROSE RS130

HiFi ROSE RS130

The RS130 is a network transport that can be digitally connected to an external DAC. The RS130 is designed to completely block digital noise by supporting Fiber Optic Ethernet and Fiber Optic USB, and to stably output digital sound sources with its built-in high-precision OCXO clock. It also supports external master clock input that takes into account different usage environments. This network transport was developed with an eye toward a user-friendly lineup, based on the unique design knowledge and platform Rose has built over the years.

The RS130 is the ultimate network transport, combining optimal flexibility and compatibility. True to the original purpose of the source device, it delivers original sound quality and reproduces sound with high clarity, allowing you to experience three-dimensional and vivid sound.

Aesthetic design closer to the top

The RS130 is designed to bring aural euphoria and visual satisfaction to audiophiles. In particular, it has an elegant and novel appearance with the crystal attached to the knob and the vent in the shape of the symbol logo at the top of the product, which was first applied to ROSE products.

RS130 maintains the existing Rose design identity while being designed to feel like a beautiful object that dominates the space. This product embodies both functionality and aesthetics, from its design to its internal structure.

Specially machined aluminum housing

The RS130 uses a specially machined high-quality aluminum housing for a perfect listening experience. The specially machined aluminum minimizes minute vibrations with its specially treated smooth surface, and it has excellent durability and heat resistance.

The housing made of high-quality aluminum material prevents vibration and is beneficial for heat dissipation. In the center of the top panel, a beautifully designed vent is provided to promote heat dissipation and improve operational stability. To maximize inherent transport performance, the RS130 is designed to balance the texture of solid and clear sound based on a design that reflects the sound master's philosophy.

Enhanced high-resolution RS130 LCD screen

HiFi ROSE's unique full-size, wide-viewing multi-touch LCD is used to highlight visible audio. The 15.4-inch high-resolution 1920*382 screen offers smooth and clear viewing of album artwork and videos, making audio listening even more enjoyable. The ultra-wide-angle LCD screen provides clear image quality from different viewing angles, providing the best picture quality from every angle. This screen works seamlessly with the RS130's features, offering users greater convenience and an immersive viewing experience.

Ethernet SFP

The RS130 offers a new network solution for sending and receiving data using SFP transceivers. The SFP protocol is a noise-resistant communications standard that can ensure fast and reliable data transmission, even over long distances. In particular, SFPs using optical fibers can fundamentally block digital noise to send and receive clean signals, and can guarantee data integrity due to their high resistance to electromagnetic interference.

By choosing the SFP that suits your situation, you can feel the difference in the excellent resolution offered in all bands and the clear contrast of tones.

Fiber USB

Fiber USB is a technology that uses light signals for fast and stable data transfer. By using fiber optic cables, data can be transferred over long distances while providing strong immunity to electromagnetic noise, ensuring stable transmission without data loss or distortion even in high interference environments.

The RS130 uses this Fiber USB technology to perfectly block digital noise from storage devices, extracting only pure data via the optical conversion function and providing the user with accurate and vibrant sound.

High precision OCXO clock

The RS130 maximizes the accuracy of the digital output by using a high-precision OCXO. This clock is the most accurate and stable of any currently in use and is unaffected by temperature changes. It is widely used in areas that require high precision and stability, such as high-end audio, aerospace, military and satellite communications. Conventional TCXO clocks can generate jitter in the audio signal due to vibration changes with temperature changes. However, the OCXO clock maintains a constant temperature via a special oven, which suppresses the generation of jitter. This technology provides excellent frequency stability and accurate clock signals, making audio connections more coherent and creating a denser, more powerful sense of space during listening.

High-capacity supercapacitor with linear power supply

The RS130's newly designed power supply consists of a high-capacity supercapacitor and a linear power supply. It has excellent power-noise blocking performance, ensuring excellent stability and the best sound quality.

The high-capacity supercapacitor has a much higher power density than lithium-ion batteries and provides excellent energy storage and power supply. This provides a reliable, clean DC power supply even when a lot of electrical energy is needed.

This hybrid power supply design, which combines a new linear power supply with a supercapacitor, minimizes the RS130's power supply noise, provides a stable power supply environment, gives faithful reproduction of a wide dynamic range from low to midrange, and maintains a natural sound.

It also significantly reduces noise compared to battery-powered configurations, improving the accuracy of audio signals and providing a cleaner, more vibrant sound quality.

Application of a dedicated SSD for audio caching

The RS130 features a dedicated SSD for audio caching, eliminating the impact of vibration and noise that can occur when playing audio from a hard drive connected via USB. In addition, it minimizes the latency errors that can occur during network streaming, allowing for more stable caching and playback. This prevents audio quality degradation and ensures smooth, coherent sound, completing a rich audio system environment.

Input for external master clock

The external master clock input function synchronizes the clock signal between different audio devices, minimizes timing errors that occur between audio signal transmissions and improves audio system accuracy and stability.

The RS130 can process high-quality audio signals and deliver accurately synchronized signals from the source to the audio output, allowing more accurately synchronized clocking of external devices. This helps to minimize jitter and maintain perfect signals when transmitting to DACs connected via RS130, S/PDIF, AES/EBU and I2S.

Design Features

By completely separating the AC supply, DC supply and audio signal processing components, the new RS130 is designed to block noise and avoid interference from digital noise caused by the PWM. Since a high-capacity supercapacitor has been used to ensure sufficient and clean DC output, the RS130 has a much higher power density and improved durability compared to products with a built-in battery. In addition, isolation circuits have been applied to all input and output terminals to minimize signal noise that may be introduced when connected to external devices. This unique design ensures accurate and stable output of the digital audio signal.
