The RS250 with integrated flagship ESS DAC (ES9038 Q2M) delivers ultra-high resolution, low noise, low distortion sound and rich analog density through proprietary processing supporting 32-bit/768kHz PCM and native DSD512 (22.5792 MHz).
The linear power supply provides clean, reliable power to the processor and audio output circuits. Fully linear power and shielding are applied, and noise that can be transmitted to the sensitive DAC is blocked for the best possible sound reproduction.
High-purity aluminum is machined as an integral unit to maximize thermal efficiency, and by minimizing the assembly area, vibrations that can affect sound quality are significantly reduced, creating a deep and ideal sense of space.
MQA is the only technology capable of streaming the original master sound at low capacity. The device supports high-level full MQA decoder functionality, allowing you to play studio-master quality sound.
Users can wirelessly play all music and videos locally and over the network via a dedicated app that supports a variety of platforms.

The Swiss army knife of digital music with the added function of ripping CDs to an internal hard drive.
In short, the perfect product.

I've had this device for a few months and I am fully satisfied with the sound quality enabled by its DAC.
With this streamer, I am rediscovering an excellent listening experience that was lacking with my Node 2021.
It's a true Swiss army knife that allows you to centralize several music services and manage CD playback via its optional player.
The ROSE RS250 software is updated regularly and effectively.
This streamer is a real gem :-)

Small device indeed, but great sound quality! Very practical. Only downside: the Qobuz app for Rose is not great.
