Hi-Fi Rose RS451 Streamer + RA280 Amplifier Bundle

Product Summary

This HiFi Rose bundle pairs the RS451 network streamer and DAC with the RA280 integrated amplifier, creating a high-performance two-box system for customers who want modern streaming convenience with powerful analogue amplification. It is ideal for building a serious hi-fi system around passive speakers while keeping the setup clean, stylish and easy to use.

The RS451 acts as the digital hub of the system, offering HiFi Rose’s touchscreen interface, ROSE OS, high-resolution streaming, HDMI eARC, digital inputs, analogue outputs and headphone support. It gives you access to services such as TIDAL, Qobuz, Apple Music, Spotify Connect, internet radio and Roon Ready playback, while also supporting local music libraries and external storage.
