User reviews

I like the user interface of Hifi Rose products. I have an older RS150B so I'm familiar with the product.

I think the amplifier in the RS201E is a bit weak and doesn't work very well when connecting a subwoofer to the preamp output. However, I connected it to an external amplifier via the preamp output and it works perfectly.

J'aime l'interface utilisateur des produits Hifi Rose. J'ai un RS150B d'avant donc je connais le produit.

Je pense que l'amplificateur du RS201E est un peu faible et qu'il ne fonctionne pas très bien lorsqu'on connecte un subwoofer à la sortie du préampli. Cependant, je l'ai connecté à un amplificateur externe via la sortie préampli et cela fonctionne parfaitement.

Very good product. Perfectly meets my expectations. Greatly facilitates reading my files stored on hard drive with a very beautiful interface, numerous display options, many sound settings, and very good quality that is clear and detailed. I mainly use it as a preamp and have paired it with a Fostex amp to give it a bit more roundness and warmth, but that's a matter of taste.

Très bon produit. Correspond parfaitement à mes attentes. Facilite grandement la lecture de mes fichiers stockés sur DD avec une très belle interface, de nombreux affichages, de nombreux réglages du son et une très bonne qualité, très claire et détaillée. Je l’utilise surtout en tant que pré ampli et l’ai associé avec un ampli Fostex pour lui apporter un peu plus de rondeur, de chaleur, mais c’est une question de goût.

Replacing my old amplifier from the 70s, I am thrilled with the sound of this small device (I use it with TIDAL, so streaming in Master quality) - pure bliss! I highly recommend it!

En remplacement de mon vieil amplificateur des années 70, je suis enthousiasmé par le son de ce petit appareil (je l’utilise avec TIDAL et donc du streaming en qualité Master) que du bonheur : je recommande !
