Product Summary & Benefits Tech Specs & Box Contents

Product Summary

The HiFi Rose RD160 is a high-end standalone DAC designed for listeners who want exceptional digital performance from a dedicated source component. Built around HiFi Rose’s ROSE CIM architecture, it is engineered to keep digital and analogue stages carefully isolated for lower noise, improved channel separation and greater overall refinement.

At the heart of the RD160 is an advanced AKM DAC implementation using separate AK4191 and AK4499EX stages, helping it deliver outstanding detail, dynamics and tonal accuracy. HiFi Rose also uses multiple independent linear power supplies and a precision internal layout to preserve signal purity and improve musical realism.

With balanced and unbalanced analogue outputs, multiple digital inputs, and a hidden AMOLED display integrated into the front panel, the RD160 is designed to fit beautifully into high-end systems while offering excellent flexibility. It is an ideal choice for anyone building a serious digital front end around high-resolution playback.

Our Trustpilot reviews

★★★★★
What an amazing company. Anna in the Glasgow branch has been so informative and helpful with my order. Sam in the Aberdeen branch has an incredible knowledge of older amps and speakers.
Alan

★★★★★
I bought a full system from the Aberdeen shop. Christian was very attentive throughout the whole process. I found that all the staff in the shop were both knowledgeable and helpful. I would strongly recommend Holburn Hi-Fi to anyone thinking about buying a full or part Hi-Fi system.
Peter

★★★★★
Jesse is very professional and always happy to help in the Glasgow Audio store. He is very knowledgeable about the products. Highly recommend.
Kyle

★★★★★
The guys at Holburn Hifi were fantastic from start to finish. Explained everything clearly and in simple terms which I really appreciated as I was lost amongst all the info I had seen online. There was no hard sell and certainly an understanding of my budget. I can’t recommend Holburn Hi Fi highly enough. Thanks to Ian, Sam and Christian.

★★★★★
Dropped in not really knowing what I wanted. Sam was most helpful, steering me towards a solution, and avoiding going over the top. From that we moved on to updating our wifi coverage towards a network. Here, Alain was equally helpful.
