HiFi Rose has launched the RW800 ROSE AIR Lite, a streaming expansion solution for existing audio systems. Pre-orders are available through official HiFi Rose dealers, with rollout in major global markets scheduled from 7 July 2026. The unit supports PCM playback up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD128.
The RW800 is built around two operating modes. Expansion Mode lets it work with HiFi Rose streamers, using USB audio for Rose system integration. Standalone Mode lets it operate as a network streamer in systems outside the Rose streamer platform.
Streaming support includes TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2, Google Cast and Roon Ready operation. The network options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth 5.2. Physical connections include optical input and output, stereo RCA output and USB audio.
The RW800 can connect directly to an amplifier, active speakers or an external DAC, depending on system configuration. HiFi Rose first showed the RW800 at HIGH END Vienna 2026 in June. A launch promotion for existing HiFi Rose customers runs through 30 September 2026.
