About the RS250A
The HiFi Rose RS250A is an all-in-one network streamer, DAC, digital preamplifier, headphone-output component, and 4K media player. It uses an ESS ES9028PRO DAC, a precision femto clock, and HiFi Rose’s discrete-op-amp analog stage. Its large 8.8-inch touchscreen runs Rose OS and provides direct access to local/network music, streaming services, internet radio, video playback, and system control. The RS250A is a successor to the RS250 and adds the ES9028PRO DAC architecture; it supports PCM to 32-bit/768 kHz, native DSD512, and full MQA decoding. Available documentation and dealer listings indicate it remains a supported/current model, although specifications can vary slightly between regional documentation and production/software revisions.
