Urgent order items are products that we do not normally carry on stock, but they are typically held on stock by our European suppliers. Depending on availability, we will seek to order these products quickly, when we have an enquiry. They can therefore be subject to quicker availability times than "Special Order" products.
Special Order items are those that are most often built to order. For these items, we tend to experience longer lead times as we negotiate them into the production line with our suppliers.

The RS250A is a high-performance network streamer, DAC, and pre-amplifier with an output stage optimised for true audiophile performance. Thanks to the coveted Rose OS operating system, intuitive touch-screen control and its extensive list of features, the RS250A opens up a wide world of high-quality digital music.
The RS250A is built around a first-class digital stage. Starting with the superior ES9028 PRO DAC chip and utilising an ultra-low phase noise oscillator, the streamer can support and convey the true quality of music formats up-to PCM 32 bit / 768kHz and Native DSD512 (22.5792MHz).
In the output stage HiFi Rose have made use of their new discrete op-amp technology which, alongside other premium technologies and materials such as the full linear power circuit, results in a sound performance that is full of character and benefitting from very low noise and distortion.
At the centre of each HiFi Rose streamer is Rose OS, a purpose-designed operating system that brings countless features to your fingers.
Incorporating streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music and Qobuz alongside industry-leading technologies such as Hi-Res Audio, Roon and MQA support, there is so much available to you.
The RS250A functions as a complete digital hub and pre-amplifier, for a fully customised system set-up. With an extensive array of hardware inputs and outputs, including a high-quality headphone output, most of which can be customised or adjusted to suit the user’s exact requirements, you can achieve greater control over your whole system than ever before.
There is also the option to connect to the network by ethernet (preferred) or by Wi-Fi. The supplied Bluetooth remote gives seamless control over most of the Rose OS system.
The RS250A design, in combination with Rose OS, gives you complete control of your listening experience, optimising it for the very best performance. The compact design and high-quality 8.8" IPS multi-touch screen with its wide viewing angle provide an intuitive and convenient interface where your music library shines like never before.
Housed within a premium aluminium enclosure and boasting a truly enviable feature set and control mechanism, the RS250A really is a complete hi-fi network streamer, and is a must-consider option for anyone who wants the latest technology presented in an intuitive way.
Not forgetting the addition of the ROSE Connect app, which is an intuitive, and dedicated application allowing users to play all music and videos from local and network sources.
HiFi Rose RS250A Review

HiFi Rose RS250A
"If you are looking for a streaming solution that can be used as your system grows and improves then the HiFi Rose RS250A is well worth including in your audition list."
Henley Says...
HiFi Rose produce some of the most excitingly integratable devices I've ever known in the hi-fi industry. Thanks to Rose OS, a whole world of musical possibilities is at your fingertips - from flawless, fully 'tweakable' playback of your local files, to streaming from Tidal, Qobuz and Rosetube (a Youtube Music rework). All of these options give you a huge variety of playback options, including video!
These are absolutely worth a play in your local authorised retailer's showroom!

Due to a production change the remote control for Rose streaming products saw a switch over from the classic black remote to a silver metal version in June 2024. The functionality of the remote is identical with only a visual difference between the two.
Units made and with dealers before this time may still include the black version as standard, and some outlets may still stock the black one as a spare. If you have any queries please speak to your local HiFi Rose dealer or contact our technical support team.
