Product Summary
The HiFi Rose RW800 is a compact streaming upgrade designed to bring modern music services and wireless playback to both HiFi Rose systems and more traditional hi-fi setups. It is ideal for customers who want access to Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, AirPlay 2, Google Cast and Roon Ready playback without replacing the heart of their existing system.
Used with compatible HiFi Rose products, the RW800 works as a simple streaming expansion module, connecting with a single USB-C cable. This makes it a neat way to add newer streaming features to selected Rose streamers, with power, data and playback information handled through the connection for a clean and easy setup.
The RW800 can also be used on its own as a compact network streamer. In standalone mode, it can connect to an amplifier, active speakers or external DAC using RCA analogue output, optical digital output or optical input, making it a flexible option for customers who want to add high-quality streaming to an existing system.
With dual-band Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth 5.2, app control through ROSE AIR and high-resolution playback support, the RW800 is a small but useful upgrade for modern listening. Its discreet black finish, compact footprint and simple connection options make it easy to place in almost any hi-fi system.
