Its sleek metallic case combines luxury with durability, while the precisely crafted
edges and smooth surfaces convey a sense of high-quality craftsmanship. The
elegantly integrated hidden screen on the front panel offers an intuitive visual
representation of the digital signal processing and status through various
display modes, providing a user experience reminiscent of operating a
futuristic device. The meticulously designed knobs and buttons interact
with the hidden screen in real-time, delivering a precise and satisfying tactile
response. More than just an audio device, the RD160 is the perfect choice to
bring a touch of modern sophistication and technological elegance to your space.
ROSE DPC(Digital Processing Core) Module
The digital stage of the RD160 is equipped with the ROSE DPC’ module, where all processing blocks are
designed to maintain optimal signal accuracy and precision, ensuring the delivery of high-fidelity sound.
This module precisely synchronizes digital signals input from various methods to a high-precision OCXO clock,
aligning them as I2S signals. Especially when processing high-resolution audio signals, the module applies
clock synchronization and locking processes to minimize jitter, resulting in accurate signal processing and
natural, clean sound. Additionally, the circuit for the user interface and GUI configuration is completely
isolated from the digital audio signal path, thoroughly eliminating signal distortion and interference.
Through this design, the RD160 guarantees superior digital signal quality and ensures high-quality sound
with compatibility across various digital formats.
ROSE CIM(Completely Isolated & Moduled)™ Architecture
DAC Module with Complete Separation of
Digital and Analog
The ROSE CIM architecture is designed to maximize sound quality through complete isolation and
modularization. The RD160’s DAC module employs a 2-chip solution, where the AK4191EQ handles digital
filtering and initial delta-sigma conversion stages, while the AK4499EX performs digital-to-analog
conversion. by structurally separating the digital and analog circuits, the RD160 achieves perfect noise
isolation during the mutual processing stages, an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). and the highest level of analog characteristics.
Fully Balanced DAC Modules and Analog Output Stage
Furthermore, by assigning individual DAC modules to each channel and employing a fully balanced symmetrical design for the analog
output stage, the RD160 effectively eliminates noise that could be coupled between channels. This design allows the RD160 to boast an
exceptional dynamic range and to accurately reproduce even the most intricate detalls or the original sound with clear and precise
stereo Imaging
