The chassis gets an upgrade too, as it is now available in silver or black.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith a large touchsreen display, terrific user interface, and the ability to operate the RS250A with a remote one can fully configure and operate this network music streamer without a tablet or phone. The RoseApp is available for iOS and Android devices, and is also super intuitive to use. There are a ton of features and connectivity options with the RS250A as well. One can use it as a streaming DAC with volume control, driving a pair of powered speakers, or monoblock amps. Or use your own preamp for a full analog volume control. Last there is the option to use the RS250 as as a streamer only, keeping one's existing preamp and DAC in the system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Streamer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe streamer can connect via Ethernet or Wi-fi. It has a powerful Hexa Core CPU with an Android based operating system. This also means you have compatibility with Android AND iOS devices. One can add up to 4tb of internal storage, connect an external drive via USB, or access your music library on your home network's NAS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe DAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS250A uses a new DAC and clock with proprietary processing that offers a low-noise, low-distortion, ultra-high-resolution sound with rich analog density. Sampling rates go up to PCM 32bit\/768KHz and native DSD512 (22.5792Mhz). In addition, there are 5 filters one can choose from for tailoring the sound to one's individual preference if using the Ethernet input. The USB input is limited to just one filter however. Additionally, oversampling can be implemented as well if desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLinear Power Supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS250A is designed with a low-noise toroidal linear power supply.

There is of course the variable setting if one wishes to use as a volume control. But there are several fixed settings one can use to optimize the gain for ones preamplifier or amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid aluminum panel chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.8-inch-wide HD touchscreen display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl with touchscreen, Rose Connect app for Apple® and Android™ devices, or included Bluetooth remote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-panel volume control\/mute knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHexa-core CPU:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-core Cortex-A72 CPU up to 1.8 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuad-core Cortex-A53 up to 1.4 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupport for Apple AirPlay, DLNA, Roon, and MQA (full decoder)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupport for TIDAL, Spotify, Qobuz, RoseTube (YouTube), internet radio stations, and RosePodcast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupported audio formats include MQA, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, WMA, MP3, OGG, M4A and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCM decoding up to 32-bit\/768kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative DSD decoding up to DSD512 (22.4MHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupported video formats include ASF, AVI, MKV, MP4, WMV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and more up to 4K resolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConnectivity Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEthernet port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHDMI video output with up to 4K resolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToslink optical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoaxial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 3.0 audio input for connecting an external drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog input\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo RCA unbalanced line in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToslink optical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoaxial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 3.0 audio output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo RCA unbalanced preamp out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5mm headphone jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage Interface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 3.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnclosed bay for optional 7mm SSD up to 4TB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal harmonic distortion: 0.0003% (1KHz 2.3Vrms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal to noise ratio: 116 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 10-15\/16\"W x 3\"H x 7-15\/16\"D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7.1 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 1 year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Music Room","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":51267900932377,"sku":"2263newROSE-BL","price":2695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":51267900965145,"sku":"2263newROSE-SI","price":2695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/HiFi_Rose_RS250A_High_Performance_Network_Streamer_1.jpg?v=1767762657","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/hifi-rose-rs250a-high-performance-network-streamer","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
