The HiFi Rose RW800 is a smart streaming upgrade for music lovers seeking modern Connect services without altering their HiFi’s core. Simply connect it to an existing HiFi Rose streamer using a single USB-C cable to add Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, AirPlay, Google Cast, and with Roon Ready support built-in and the ROSE AIR App available. Alternatively, run it independently as a compact network streamer for an amplifier, DAC or active speakers.

The RW800 boasts a compact, stylish build designed for effortless placement. The RW800’s compact footprint fits neatly into a high-end audio rack or desktop system. The minimalist black finish, glossy top logo and subtle indirect LED diffuser create a refined look, minimising visual distractions and complementing the clean styling of HiFi Rose components and wider HiFi systems.

In expansion (CH) Mode, the HiFi Rose RW800 functions as an expansion module for compatible HiFi Rose streamers like the RS151, RS130, RS250A, RS451, RS520, or the now discontinued, RS150B and RS201E. In standalone (SA) Mode, it becomes a standalone streamer, connecting via RCA, optical input/output to an amplifier, external DAC or active speakers. This makes it an easy upgrade for Rose and non-Rose systems alike.

Designed for today’s streaming ecosystem, the RW800 supports major services and protocols like Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, AirPlay 2, Google Cast and Roon. This means it can connect to a wide range of devices and offer flexible network audio performance for both upgraded Rose systems and compact standalone setups. It also supports high-resolution playback up to PCM 32-bit/384 kHz and DSD128.

The ROSE AIR app simplifies setup and daily listening.  It automatically detects devices, configures Bluetooth-assisted Wi-Fi, controls playback, manages OTA updates, allows access to device settings and provides factory reset tools.  This intuitive iOS and Android interface makes the RW800 easy to use from first connection through to everyday use.
