General: Beautiful multimedia player from Korean manufacturer Hifi Rose. A versatile all-in-one device, packed with features and a large IPS touchscreen.

Functionality: The Hifi Rose RS451 comes with several popular applications pre-installed. The following applications are included: Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, RoseTube (YouTube with music only) and Apple Music. Additionally, the Hifi Rose RS451 is RoonReady and can be used as a player behind a Roon Server. For those using Audirvana, the Hifi Rose RS451 can also function as a player for Audirvana servers. Finally, Qobuz Connect and Spotify Connect playback options are also available. Beyond streaming capabilities, there are numerous connections available. Digital inputs include Coax RCA, Toslink Optical, USB-B and HDMI eARC. You can also output digitally from the Hifi Rose RS451 via Coax RCA, Toslink Optical or USB-A to an external DAC. For analog connections, there is 1 set of RCA connections for devices like a CD player. Both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA can be used when connecting to your amplifier. The Hifi Rose RS451 features an excellent analog volume control, allowing it to connect directly to power amplifiers as a preamplifier. Alternatively, you can lock the volume control to connect the RS451 to integrated amplifiers or an external preamplifier. Internet connection can be either wired or wireless. The remote operates via Bluetooth, so the Hifi Rose RS451 can be placed behind closed furniture doors while still allowing volume control. Thanks to the eARC input, the Hifi Rose RS451 can send video up to 4K Ultra HD to a television and play audio through your hi-fi system. In addition to being an excellent streamer and DAC, the Hifi Rose RS451 is also a high-quality headphone amplifier with both balanced and unbalanced headphone outputs on the front of the device, which can be switched using a dial next to them. All in all, the Hifi Rose RS451 is a stylish and multifunctional device that can be deployed in virtually any situation.

Technology: What makes the Hifi Rose RS451 unique is that it features two dedicated ES9027PRO DACs. One is dedicated to the analog outputs that connect to the amplifier (or active speakers). The other DAC is exclusively for the headphone outputs. An interesting yet effective design that keeps both functions separate. The processor board in the RS451 is of the latest generation, more powerful and faster than previous Hifi Rose models. Internally, the layout is clean and only high-quality components are used. The power supply is a quiet and stable linear supply with toroidal transformer. The Hifi Rose RS451 accepts all PCM formats up to 32bit/384kHz and DSD files up to DSD512. Upsampling of PCM signals to DSD up to DSD512 is also possible. DSD files up to DSD128 can also be sent via DoP to the Coax input. There is also space for a 2.5" SATA SSD up to 4TB for stored music. You can connect the Hifi Rose RSA780 CD Ripper to the USB input to rip your favorite CDs directly to the installed SSD, or to play CDs directly.

Sound: The Hifi Rose RS451 is a clean-sounding streamer with a balanced sound that is rich in detail and space. The sound is clear, refined, and features tight and solid bass reproduction. The sound is absolutely comparable to other similarly priced streamers that don't even have a quarter of the connections and capabilities of the Hifi Rose RS451. The Hifi Rose RS451 is an extremely good and versatile streamer, especially in its price range. The Hifi Rose RS451 can be used in combination with many types and brands of equipment, but it can be beautifully matched in styling and sound with, for example, the Hifi Rose RA280 integrated amplifier (shown in photos 4 and 5).

We have the Hifi Rose RS451 available as a demo unit and it can be auditioned by appointment. Comparing it with your own streamer in our listening room is possible.
