Can’t speak to the ROSE 250, however the ROSE 150 (their flagship model, 5 K MSRP) is superb.
Has an excellent built in Dac , using the ESS 9038 Pro chip with a Femto Clock (don’t know the value/ model of The Femto). The resultant sound is very good. It has a very transparent, smooth and liquid presentation that’s leans slightly on the warm side of the spectrum. Most Dac’s utilizing the ESS 9038 PRO, tend to be on the neutral to slightly cool side of the spectrum, but HI FI ROSE had done an excellent job of tuning their Dac implementation.
However the “star” of the show is the Transport capability of the ROSE 150. It has numerous connectivity capabilities, and offers DAC OUT to allow the use of your own Dac ( AES, I2S (both DVI and RJ 45), and Coax.
The unit also features a 14 inch OLED type, touch screen display , with 4 K resolution. All in all a huge bang for the buck.
Cheers.....
