HiFi Rose RD160 DAC 和前置放大器：漂亮（且昂贵）的新型数模转换器

你必须问自己一个问题：我觉得自己像一名发烧友吗？ （好吧，朋克？抱歉。）问题是，只有专用的、彻头彻尾的音频

If you're looking for the best possible hi-res audio experience from your collection of hi-fi separates, then you'll want to take a closer look at the HiFi Rose RD160 DAC and pre-amp. It's not cheap, but it's packed with cutting-edge technology and boasts an exquisite build quality that's sure to impress even the most discerning audiophiles.

如果您正在从您的高保真分离器系列中寻找最佳的高分辨率音频体验，那么您将需要仔细研究一下 HiFi Rose RD160 DAC 和前置放大器。它并不便宜，但它配备了尖端技术，并拥有精致的制作质量，即使是最挑剔的发烧友也一定会留下深刻的印象。

The RD160 uses several new and proprietary HiFi Rose technological acronyms, including ROSE DPC, ROSE NRA, and ROSE CIM. Let's quickly break those down:

RD160 使用多个新的专有 HiFi Rose 技术缩写，包括 ROSE DPC、ROSE NRA 和 ROSE CIM。让我们快速分解一下：

ROSE DPC (Digital Processing Core) Module guarantees signal accuracy and precision regardless of the source thanks to using an OCXO clock, says the company.

该公司表示，ROSE DPC（数字处理核心）模块通过使用 OCXO 时钟，可以保证信号的准确性和精度，无论信号源如何。

ROSE CIM (Completely Isolated Module) architecture uses a two-chip solution. Yes, this is a fully balanced, dual-mono DAC design with complete mechanical separation between channels.

ROSE CIM（完全隔离模块）架构采用两芯片解决方案。是的，这是一个完全平衡的双单声道 DAC 设计，通道之间具有完全的机械分离。

ROSE NRA (Noise Reduction Analog) filter achieves, says the hi-fi specialist, a "flat frequency response, even in the very low-frequency range". Impressive.

这位高保真音响专家表示，ROSE NRA（降噪模拟）滤波器可实现“平坦的频率响应，即使在极低的频率范围内也是如此”。感人的。

Three customized reference-level linear power supplies drive the two channels and the main digital processing board independently, in a bid to reduce interference and crosstalk, HiFi Rose tells me. Again, RD160 uses two DAC chips per channel; the Asahi Kasei AK4191 handling digital filtering and initial delta-sigma modulation stages and the AK4499EX handling the final digital-to-analog conversion.

HiFi Rose 告诉我，三个定制的参考级线性电源独立驱动两个通道和主数字处理板，以减少干扰和串扰。同样，RD160 每个通道使用两个 DAC 芯片； Asahi Kasei AK4191 处理数字滤波和初始 delta-sigma 调制阶段，AK4499EX 处理最终的数模转换。

Alongside the usual connectivity options, the RD160 also features an SFP USB input, which supports optical USB conversion, and for further compatibility with a wider high-end system, the RD160 also offers 50Ω and 75Ω external clock inputs.

除了常见的连接选项外，RD160 还具有 SFP USB 输入，支持光纤 USB 转换，并且为了进一步兼容更广泛的高端系统，RD160 还提供 50Ω 和 75Ω 外部时钟输入。

HiFi Rose's RD160 also features an output level setting option, allowing you to select from fixed output levels between 1V and 9V. Why is that good? It allows you to connect to a wide range of amplifiers and avoid either low output or too much gain and clipping.

HiFi Rose 的 RD160 还具有输出电平设置选项，允许您从 1V 到 9V 之间的固定输出电平进行选择。为什么这样好呢？它允许您连接到各种放大器，并避免低输出或过多的增益和削波。

Lastly, we need to talk about that solid aluminum chassis. It's a full-width HiFi Rose product (which means it can be part of your hi-fi 'stack', although you really do need to invest in a proper hi-fi rack at this level) and you get an IR remote control in the box. There's also something the company's calling a "hidden screen" front panel, to relay all key playback information, plus some front-panel buttons and a reassuring hi-fi knob to help you control things.

最后，我们需要谈谈坚固的铝制底盘。它是一款全宽 HiFi Rose 产品（这意味着它可以成为您的 hi-fi“堆栈”的一部分，尽管您确实需要在这个级别投资一个合适的 hi-fi 机架）并且您可以在其中获得红外遥控器盒子。还有一个该公司称之为“隐藏屏幕”的前面板，用于转发所有关键的播放信息，再加上一些前面板按钮和一个令人放心的高保真旋钮来帮助您控制事物。

Through that front screen, you can access four sampling options (Bypass, PCM, DSD, and Upsampling) and six digital filters to find the sound that suits your tastes. And when sat back in your listening position, your multiple screen display options include a live soundwave of each channel, so you can see what you're hearing too.

通过该前屏幕，您可以访问四个采样选项（旁路、PCM、DSD 和上采样）和六个数字滤波器，以找到适合您口味的声音。当坐在您的聆听位置时，您的多个屏幕显示选项包括每个通道的实时声波，因此您也可以看到您所听到的内容。

It's so elegant, no? It comes in black or silver and will arrive in November 2024. And now the delicate topic of coin: HiFi Rose RD160 is officially £4,699 in the UK, which means it'll come in at around $6,180 or a cool AU$9,000.

它是如此优雅，不是吗？它有黑色或银色两种颜色，将于 2024 年 11 月上市。现在是硬币的微妙话题：HiFi Rose RD160 在英国的官方售价为 4,699 英镑，这意味着它的售价约为 6,180 美元或 9,000 澳元。

If you're after something a little more portable but still have a bit of cash to burn, then be sure to check out the iFi xDSD Gryphon. You won't regret it.

如果您想要更便携的东西，但仍然需要花点钱，那么一定要看看 iFi xDSD Gryphon。你不会后悔的。
