Product Description: 

Next-Level Audio Engineering

The RS151 enhances the highly regarded RS150B with a newly designed digital processing core, delivering superior clarity, detail, and musical expression. Equipped with the advanced ROSE DPC™ module and an upgraded Femto Clock, it dramatically reduces jitter, refines signal accuracy, and enables PCM-to-DSD512 upsampling for a more immersive listening experience. Its precision-machined solid aluminum chassis not only minimizes vibrations but also optimizes thermal efficiency, ensuring exceptional audio performance in any environment.

Immersive Control with a Larger 15.4” Full HD Display

The RS151 features an impressive 15.4-inch Full HD multi-touch display, an upgrade from its predecessor’s 14.9-inch screen. With a wider viewing angle and enhanced resolution, it delivers greater clarity for album artwork, system settings, and playback controls. Its intuitive touch interface allows seamless navigation through streaming services, digital libraries, and system settings—eliminating the need for an external device. The customizable UI enhances both aesthetics and usability, incorporating advanced visual elements such as VU meters for a more engaging user experience.

Expanded Streaming Capabilities and Faster Performance

Powered by an upgraded 8-core processor—four times faster than its predecessor—the RS151 is designed for seamless performance. With 8GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, it delivers a noticeably smoother user experience. Streaming services like Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, and internet radio load quickly and run more efficiently than ever. This enhanced architecture allows effortless browsing and playback of high-resolution files without lag, while ROON Ready compatibility and full MQA decoding ensure the highest-quality digital audio experience.

Beyond Sound – 4K Ultra HD Video and Enhanced Connectivity

With a connected hard drive, lossless copies of favorite CDs can be stored for long-term access. Additionally, real-time CD playback transforms the RS151 into a high-end CD player, enhanced by advanced digital processing for superior audio quality.

New IR Remote Control and Seamless Device Integration

The RS151 features an upgraded IR remote control, offering improved reliability and range over the Bluetooth remote of the RS150B. For comprehensive control, the Rose Connect app remains the go-to interface, available on iOS, Android, and PC, allowing effortless management of playback, system settings, and streaming services. Additionally, the inclusion of Trigger In/Out enables seamless power synchronization with other HiFi components, making the RS151 an even more integrated solution for high-end audio systems.

RS151 vs RS150B

Refined. Faster. More Powerful.

Enhanced Signal Processing

Now featuring the ROSE DPC module and Femto Clock, which were absent in the RS150B. This dramatically reduces jitter and improves timing accuracy, delivering a cleaner, more natural sound. DSD upsampling is now supported up to DSD512, where the RS150B had none.

Upgraded DAC & Audio Performance

The new ES9039PRO DAC replaces the previous ES9038PRO, with independent 8- channel processing instead of shared circuits. This improves stereo imaging and channel separation, while the signal-to-noise ratio jumps from 121dB to 131.4dB, lowering noise for even greater clarity.

More Power, Faster Performance

The new 8-core processor is 4x faster, while RAM has doubled to 8GB, and storage has quadrupled to 32GB. Now running Android 12, the RS151 is smoother, more responsive, and more capable than ever.

Larger Display & Better Connectivity

The touchscreen has increased from 14.9” to 15.4” and now features Full HD resolution for sharper visuals. Connectivity improvements include eARC for uncompressed HDMI audio, Trigger In/Out for external device control, and Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX for better wireless audio.

Smarter, More Refined Features

Unlike the RS150B, the RS151 includes PCM-to-DSD512 conversion for enhanced playback options. The IR remote control replaces Bluetooth for improved range and reliability, and COAX & AES/EBU support has been upgraded to PCM 384kHz and DSD128 for higher-resolution playback.
