General: Sublimely built, stylish, powerful and compact integrated amplifier from Hifi Rose. Technically, musically and in terms of price/quality, a beautiful product.

Technology: The Hifi Rose RA280 is the latest creation from Hifi Rose from South Korea. The design is a simplified version of the larger and more expensive RA180. It is a fairly compact amplifier, but the output power of no less than 250 Watts per channel and the sturdy construction weighing almost 10 kg indicate that it is no lightweight. The Hifi Rose RA280 is a Class AD amplifier; this combination of Class D and Class A offers the best of both worlds. You benefit from the low harmonic distortion, high efficiency and high output power of the Class D amplifier, as well as the linearity in power delivery and organic sound of a Class A amplifier. The amplification is done by 2 separate amplification modules; because these are separated from each other, there is less interference between the two channels. The power supply is a very powerful, dynamic and modern power supply developed by Hifi Rose itself with Silicon Carbide FETs. These FETs have higher efficiency than the more standard Silicon FETs and generate less heat.

Design and Connections: The Hifi Rose RA280 reminds us a bit of the Swiss brand Nagra in terms of finish, but in a Hifi Rose way. The VU meters are a nice addition and can be dimmed using a switch on the front. On this front you will also find the Treble and Bass controls, which of course can also be bypassed. On the left side is the input control and on the right the volume knob. Everything is of high quality and feels very solid. The included remote control is also of high quality and has a simplistic finish. As for connections, there are 3 sets of unbalanced analog RCA inputs, 1 set of balanced analog XLR inputs, and a high-quality and distortion-free MM Phono input. For those with a subwoofer, there is also a single subwoofer RCA output on the rear. The speaker terminals are gold-plated and can be used with spades, banana plugs or bare conductors. Everything about this beautiful and compact amplifier feels high-quality and exudes quality, and it sounds that way too.

Sound : The Hifi Rose RA280 is built to combine the power and dynamics of a Class D amplifier with the refinement and linearity of a Class A amplifier. Sonically, this is certainly evident. Whether you're playing driving electronic music or gentle vocal music, the Hifi Rose RA280 is designed for it. Dynamically and rhythmically, the sound is excellent, the bass is solid and deep, and the midrange is lively and rhythmic. Details are easy to hear and everything sits nicely in the soundstage. The sound is not harsh, digital, analytical or unnatural. On the contrary, the Hifi Rose RA280 sounds natural, well-balanced and highly musical. This musical character, combined with ample power to drive most speakers on the market and the beautifully and finely finished chassis, makes the Hifi Rose RA280 an absolute success in terms of value for money. The Hifi Rose RA280 integrated amplifier is available for audition by appointment at Ohm-Audio B.V.
