RS151 Whats New? 

 
The HiFi Rose RS151 builds on the RS150B with major upgrades for better sound, speed, and usability. Here’s what’s new:
 
Enhanced Signal Processing
Now featuring the ROSE DPC™ module and Femto clock, which were absent in the RS150B. This dramatically reduces jitter and improves timing accuracy, delivering a cleaner, more natural sound. DSD upsampling is now supported up to DSD512, where the RS150B had none.

 
Upgraded DAC & Audio Performance
The new ES9039PRO DAC replaces the previous ES9038PRO, with independent 8-channel processing instead of shared circuits. This improves stereo imaging and channel separation, while the signal-to-noise ratio jumps from 121dB to 131.4dB, lowering noise for even greater clarity.

More Power, Faster Performance
The new 8-core processor is 4x faster, while RAM has doubled to 8GB, and storage has quadrupled to 32GB. Now running Android 12, the RS151 is smoother, more responsive, and more capable than ever.
 
Larger Display & Better Connectivity 
The touchscreen has increased from 14.9” to 15.4” and now features Full HD resolution for sharper visuals. Connectivity improvements include eARC for uncompressed HDMI audio, Trigger In/Out for external device control, and Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX for better wireless audio.

 
Smarter, More Refined Features
Unlike the RS150B, the RS151 includes PCM-to-DSD512 conversion for enhanced playback options. The IR remote control replaces Bluetooth for improved range and reliability, and COAX & AES/EBU support has been upgraded to PCM 384kHz and DSD128 for higher-resolution playback.

Product Description

RS151 Quality and Engineering

Next-Level Audio Engineering

The RS151 builds upon the acclaimed RS150B with a completely re-engineered digital processing core for even greater clarity, detail, and musicality. Now featuring the ROSE DPC™ module and an upgraded Femto Clock, the RS151 significantly reduces jitter, improves signal accuracy, and supports PCM-to-DSD512 upsampling for an even more lifelike presentation. The precision-machined solid aluminum chassis minimizes vibrations while maximizing thermal efficiency, ensuring pristine audio performance in any setup.

 

RS151 Display and Interface

Immersive Control with a Larger 15.4” Full HD Display

The RS151 introduces a stunning 15.4-inch Full HD multi-touch display, an upgrade over the previous generation’s 14.9-inch screen. With a wider viewing angle and enhanced resolution, the display offers improved clarity for album art, system settings, and playback controls. Navigate your favorite streaming services, digital library, and system settings with a user-friendly touch interface—no phone or tablet required. The customizable UI includes advanced visual elements like VU meters, enhancing both form and function.

 

Expanded Streaming Capabilities and Faster Performance

With an upgraded 8-core processor (4x faster than its predecessor), 8GB RAM, and 32GB storage, the RS151 delivers an even smoother user experience. Streaming services such as Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, and internet radio load faster and operate more efficiently than ever before. This improved architecture ensures that you can browse and play high-resolution files without lag, while support for ROON Ready and full MQA decoding unlocks the best digital playback possible.

 

RS151 4K Video Support

Beyond Sound – 4K Ultra HD Video and Enhanced Connectivity

The RS151 isn’t just a high-performance streamer—it also features 4K HDMI output for an immersive visual experience. The exclusive RoseTube app delivers curated music videos, live performances, and access to your personal YouTube account, while TIDAL subscribers can enjoy a vast library of music videos and exclusive video content. The RS151 also introduces upgraded connectivity with HDMI eARC, improved COAX & AES/EBU sampling rates, and Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX for better wireless performance.

 

RS151 Internal Storage Options

Expanded Internal Storage for Digital Libraries

The RS151 makes it easier than ever to store and access your personal music collection. With support for 2.5-inch SSD drives, Micro SD cards, and external USB or NAS storage, you can keep your favorite albums at your fingertips. TIDAL and RoseTube caching capabilities ensure smooth playback, even when your internet connection is inconsistent. Improved library management also allows the RS151 to handle even larger collections with ease.

 

Direct CD Ripping with an Optional Drive

The RS151 retains the ability to rip CDs directly to your local library using the optional RSA-780 drive or most external CD-ROM drives. Once a hard drive is installed, you can rip and store lossless digital copies of your favorite CDs, ensuring long-term access to your personal collection. You can even play CDs in real time, effectively turning the RS151 into a high-end CD player with advanced digital processing.

 

RS151 Remote Control

New IR Remote Control and Seamless Device Integration

The RS151 introduces an improved IR remote control, replacing the Bluetooth remote of the RS150B for better reliability and range. The Rose Connect app remains the ultimate control center, available on iOS, Android, and PC, allowing you to manage playback, system settings, and streaming services with ease. The addition of Trigger In/Out also enables seamless power synchronization with other HiFi components, making the RS151 an even better fit for high-end systems.
