HiFi Rose RW800 Network Streaming Module

RW800 Compact Network Streaming Module, by HiFi Rose.

The HiFi Rose RW800 is a smart streaming upgrade for music lovers who want modern Connect services without changing the heart of their hi-fi.

Built for effortless placement, the RW800’s compact footprint slips neatly into a high-end audio rack or desktop system. A minimalist black finish, glossy top logo and subtle indirect LED diffuser keep the look refined, reducing visual distraction while complementing the clean styling of HiFi Rose components and wider hi-fi systems.

Expansion Mode

The RW800 can be used in Expansion Mode by connecting it to an existing HiFi Rose streamer with a single USB-C cable, to add Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, AirPlay and Google Cast.

In expansion (CH) Mode, the RW800 acts as an expansion module for compatible HiFi Rose streamers including RS151, RS130, RS250A, RS451, RS150B, RS201E and RS520.

Standalone Mode

The RW800 can be run independently in Standalone Mode to add network streaming capability to an existing amplifier, DAC or active speakers setup.

In standalone (SA) Mode, it becomes a standalone streamer, connecting via RCA, optical input/output and USB power to an integrated amplifier, external DAC or active speakers, making it an easy upgrade for Rose and non-Rose systems alike.

Simple Streaming - Easy Control

Designed for today’s streaming ecosystem, the RW800 supports major services and protocols including Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, AirPlay, Google Cast and Roon Ready functionality. With support for high-resolution playback up to PCM 32-bit/384 kHz and DSD128, it brings flexible network audio performance to both upgraded Rose systems and compact standalone set-ups.

The ROSE AIR app keeps set-up and daily listening straightforward. Automatic device detection, Bluetooth-assisted Wi-Fi configuration, playback control, OTA updates, device settings and factory reset tools are all managed from an intuitive iOS and Android interface, so the RW800 feels simple from first connection to everyday use.
