Product Description

The HiFiRose RA280 Integrated Amplifier represents a refined fusion of cutting-edge technology and sophisticated design, engineered to provide an exceptional audio experience. Evolving from the foundation laid by the RA180, this model incorporates the innovative Advanced Class D amplification technology, delivering enhanced efficiency alongside outstanding sound performance.

 

 

Innovative Advanced Class D Technology

The HiFiRose RA280 redefines digital amplification through its Advanced Class D technology, incorporating cutting-edge GaN (gallium nitride) FETs. This innovation outperforms conventional Class D designs by delivering sound quality that rivals analog amplification, while offering enhanced efficiency and power output. The RA280 produces a nearly linear output with exceptionally low distortion, ensuring smooth and natural sound reproduction. Spanning a broad frequency spectrum from 20 Hz to 100 kHz, it captures every nuance of the audio signal, providing an immersive and highly realistic listening experience.

 

Superior Mono Amplifier Design with Advanced Filtering

The RA280 features dual fully isolated mono amplifier units, each outputting 250 W into 4 Ω or 8 Ω loads, combining for a total of 500 W in stereo operation. HiFiRose’s sophisticated two-stage analog filter design delivers exceptional audio fidelity. Its LC filter maintains a frequency response with less than -1 dB attenuation up to 65 kHz and -3 dB up to 85 kHz, effectively minimizing carrier noise inherent in Class D amplification. This configuration produces clear, detailed audio with improved spatial imaging and an authentically analog sound character.

 

The RA280 features a precision phono amplifier specifically designed for moving magnet cartridges, enhancing your vinyl playback experience. Easily activated by a straightforward switch, this high-performance amplifier strengthens delicate audio signals with clarity and without distortion. HiFi Rose’s advanced compensation circuitry ensures audio reproduction that closely matches the original recording, delivering detailed, vibrant sound and an immersive, high-fidelity listening experience that truly animates your vinyl collection.

 

 

Cutting-Edge Power Supply for Unmatched Performance

The HiFi Rose RA280 integrated amplifier incorporates an advanced power supply featuring silicon carbide (SiC) FETs, offering greater efficiency and lower heat generation than conventional silicon FETs.

This cutting-edge technology provides stable and optimal power management. Equipped with a 2.5 power factor correction circuit and a large-capacity capacitor, the RA280 maintains exceptional performance during rapid load fluctuations, delivering consistent, high-fidelity sound. Its fourth-generation SiC FET design boosts power output while keeping thermal output minimal, enabling precise treble and deep bass for dynamic and accurate audio reproduction.
