Retro yet so modern. love the design to the moon and back.

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for sharing, we like it as well

[@jimwilliamson7798]

The look stands out for sure. The streamers have been stellar. They just work when others are glitchy. Now an integrated to match up. Will definitely have to stop by for a demo.

[@AudioAdvice]

We look forward to seeing you soon!

[@michaelglenn2399]

Glad to see Class D getting some love these days. HiFi Rose seems to have this tech nailed down nicely!

[@AudioAdvice]

Definitely!

[@sbwlearning1372]

I think there was kick back and snobbery because the tech is relatively cheap. I have ice power as1200 power amp which gives me 600 wpc at 8 l, 4 and 2 ohms. The most singularly impressive piece of audio equipment I've ever purchased. Sounds gorgeous and the power is astonishing

[@cpg8000]

Looks like a really nice product. Great wattage and thoughtful design. Thanks for the nice presentation- always find them helpful.

[@AudioAdvice]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks

3:54 Watching how Bass/Trebble pots bounced when you adjusted them we all had a chance to ensure in the "highest" quality of the selected components...

[@Joe_Montfort]

No kidding. Wiggly knobs like that on a $3K amplifier? I don't need to see any more.

[@ronjmeneses]

Yeah, I saw the same thing - makes me cringe watching those knobs move like that. I noticed the RA180 knobs do the same thing.

[@chrisgargiulo304]

Love the Retro look.

[@AudioAdvice]

Us too!

[@sethfm9773]

I quite like the design, and there is some very interesting tech inside too.

[@AudioAdvice]

Glad you like it!

[@AudioElectronicsChicago]

it comes in black and silver color 👍🏻

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes! We will currently have black only until the silver becomes available.

[@TriAmpHiFi]

It seems "analog" sounding is the goal. Acid Jazz, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes! Thanks for watching

[@Wordsalad69420]

I am very sad that there is no headphone output built in. There isn’t even a pre out so I can connect a headphone amp. So that’s a no for me.

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes those would have been nice. Thanks for watching

[@Metalhead-4life]

The aesthetics are amazing, would love to hear this Int Amp

[@AudioAdvice]

Agreed! It looks and sounds great!

[@FidelityNation]

Great review, How is the bass response?

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks, pretty good! Although a whopper Class AB still has better, but for what this is, its not bad.

[@kirkericson2722]

Would you recommend this over the Technics SUG-700 mk.2 to pair with the RS250 streamer? The price points are very similar and both appear to be great amps.

[@AudioAdvice]

They both are. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com to go over the differences. Thanks for watching

[@kirkericson2722]

Thanks for the follow-up. I'll have to come by for a demo at some point@@AudioAdvice

[@yippie6862]

How does this HiFi Rose RA280 and RS250A combination compare to their all-in-one unit the RS520? Thanks.

[@AudioAdvice]

The separates will give you better performance, however it is all about balancing the investment in your components. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com to discuss your system in more detail. Thanks for watching

[@pef1960]

I want one.

[@AudioAdvice]

We can help you with that! :) Thanks for watching

[@fernandopiresmarques899]

HIFI Rose brand manufactures cd players

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes they do

[@bootneylee9802]

Gosh I need help finding a sub $2000 network streamer to plug into my Marantz Sr7011. I tried the bluesound node and it didn't work. Maybe I got a bad one. Is there another solution in this price range that offers MQA and Dolby Atmos decoding?

[@AudioAdvice]

Something was wrong with your Node, that is one of our most popular streamers and it has a lot of features for the $$.

[@bootneylee9802]

​@AudioAdvice Thanks for the reply. But I wasn't really happy with the Node's app interface. I'm looking very closely at your Eversolo DMP-6 Master Edition. Is there anything better with more features at the $1300 mark?

[@AudioAdvice]

@@bootneylee9802 If that is the case, the DMP-6 Master Edition is your best bet

[@Jonky98]

Looks like someone copied the Nagra Jazz and doubled up the controls and meters

[@AudioAdvice]

The Nagra gear does look great. Thanks for watching

[@pharmacdrugstore8065]

Price pls I'm from india

[@AudioAdvice]

Sorry, we only sell in the USA. Thanks for watching

[@jonthompson8807]

Love the review. I know it was a decision to have the foreground and background out of focus and what's his name in focus but the product is out of focus. Even though it's a medium shot, it's still kind of weirds me out that the product is out of focus. A product review.

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for the feedback. We will take that into consideration moving forward. We typically try to keep both in focus at the same time.

[@jonthompson8807]

@@AudioAdvice appreciate you! The videos are really working.

[@Novilicious]

No HDMI Arc. Sigh! 😔 Great product otherwise, especially the Gan tech!

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes, that would have been a nice touch to add that!

[@uncola6028]

It doesn't have a built in dac so earc input isn't possible

[@titntin5178]

All modern tellies have a stereo digital audio out. Feed this to your Dac/ Streamer. There's no need for HDMI earc functionality unless you are feeding a multi channel amp.
