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 125 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 details of the original sound with clear and precise stereo imaging.
Three Independently Customized Reference Linear Power Supply Units
The reference linear power supplies in the RD160, developed in-house by ROSE, are engineered to achieve the highest sound quality using ULTRA LOW NOISE power chipsets. These power supplies independently feed the digital input stage and the left and right analog output stages, minimizing crosstalk and interference between sections. This design effectively suppresses noise across the digital processing, clock, and analog output circuits, ensuring signal integrity. By delivering stable power tailored to the specific needs of each stage, it enhances the DAC's dynamic range and resolution, faithfully conveying even the most subtle details of the music. Additionally, the reduction of jitter maximizes the spatial characteristics of the soundstage, resulting in a wider and more precise soundstage with sharp imaging. Through this power supply design, the RD160 elevates audio clarity and dynamics, offering a deeply immersive listening experience.
High-Quality J-FET Input Dual OP-Amp
The RD160 utilizes high-quality J-FET input dual OP-AMPs with excellent responsiveness, dynamic range, and low distortion, incorporating high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) lead frames. The OP-AMPS in the RD160 have been meticulously selected through a rigorous and careful process to deliver a natural and v
