Rose RS520 black

The RS520 is an all-in-one product with a network player, DAC, and integrated amplifier. The DAC module and amplifier are equipped with an ES9038PRO DAC, the flagship DAC chip from ESS Technology, and a Class AD amplifier module developed using new GaN FET materials. The RS520 is an advanced all-in-one network streamer that combines the key functions of existing all-in-one streamers into one, based on ROSE’s unique know-how and design features accumulated over the years.

Timeless Value

The design of the RS520 focused on values that have not changed with time. A refined design that will not change with time and a bold ventilation hole for heat dissipation represent a gentleman who is both functional and enterprising in appearance.

Integrated Aluminum Housing

The RS520’s housing, which makes generous use of a highly durable 6000-series aluminum material, is manufactured by an all-in-one process in which all four sides are produced as a single piece. The all-in-one manufacturing process is the most ideal method for fundamentally blocking vibrations that can occur between separate parts, thereby significantly reducing sound waves that can affect sound quality.

12.6-inch Wide LCD Touchscreen

The Hi-Fi ROSE’s spacious, wide-viewing-angle LCD screen enhances the sound. With a size of 30982.9 (mm) and an LCD panel with a resolution of 1920515, you can enjoy a smooth and clear display.
