Reviews
Stereophile Apr. 2026 |
"The RD160 employs the AKM two-chip approach — pairing the AK4191EQ delta-sigma modulator with the AK4499EXEQ DAC — which has the benefit of moving most digital processing off the converter chip, keeping high-frequency noise away from the analog side. HiFi Rose puts even more emphasis on isolation, employing three independent power supplies and an SFP fiber input for total electrical isolation of the USB signal." Read More → |
