General: Beautiful multimedia player from Korean Hifi Rose. A true all-rounder, packed with features and a large IPS touchscreen.

Functionality: The Hifi Rose RS451 comes with several commonly used applications pre-installed. The following applications are available: Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, RoseTube (Youtube with music only) and Apple Music. Additionally, the Hifi Rose RS451 is RoonReady and can therefore be placed behind a Roon Server as a player. For those using Audirvana, the Hifi Rose RS451 can also be used as a player for Audirvana servers. And finally, Qobuz Connect and Spotify Connect playback options are also available. In addition to streaming capabilities, there are also plenty of connections available. For digital connections, there is a Coax RCA, Toslink Optical, USB-B and an HDMI eARC input. You can also output digitally from the Hifi Rose RS451 via Coax RCA, Toslink Optical or via USB-A to an external DAC. For analog connections, there is 1 set of RCA connections available for, for example, a CD player. Both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA can be used when connecting to your amplifier. The Hifi Rose RS451 features excellent analog volume control, allowing it to be connected directly to power amplifiers as a preamplifier, but you can also lock the volume control to connect the RS451 to integrated amplifiers or an external preamplifier. Internet connection can be made either wired or wireless. The remote works via Bluetooth, so the Hifi Rose RS451 can also be placed behind closed furniture doors and volume can still be adjusted. Thanks to the eARC input, the Hifi Rose RS451 can output its image up to 4K Ultra HD to a television and play sound through your audio system. In addition to being an outstanding 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 via a rotary knob next to it. All in all, the Hifi Rose RS451 is a stylish and multifunctional device that can be used in practically any situation.

Technology: Unique to the Hifi Rose RS451 is that it features two dedicated ES9027PRO DACs. One is dedicated to the analog outputs that go to the amplifier (or active speakers). The other DAC is purely for the headphone outputs. An interesting but effective design that separates both functions from each other. The processor board in the RS451 is of the latest generation, more powerful and faster than previous Hifi Rose models. Internally, the layout is neatly constructed and only high-quality components are used. The power supply is a silent and stable linear power 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 via DoP can also be sent 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 well-balanced sound that is rich in detail and space. The sound is clear, refined and with a tight and solid bass response. The sound is absolutely not inferior 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 enormously 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 combines beautifully in terms of styling and sound with, for example, the Hifi Rose RA280 integrated amplifier (shown in photos 4 and 5).

We have the Hifi Rose RS451 ready for demonstration and can be auditioned by appointment. Comparing with your own streamer in our listening room is possible.
