HiFi Rose launches RW800 ROSE AIR Lite streaming module

HiFi Rose has launched the RW800 ROSE AIR Lite, a streaming expansion module for existing hi-fi systems. The compact unit can work with compatible HiFi Rose streamers or operate as a standalone network streamer. It supports PCM playback up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD128.

The RW800’s Expansion Mode is designed for integration with compatible HiFi Rose hardware over USB-C. Supported Rose models include the RS130, RS150, RS451 and RS151. The module was first shown at High End Vienna 2026 before its July launch.

Streaming support includes TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2, Google Cast and Roon Ready playback. Network connections include dual-band Wi-Fi and Ethernet. The RW800 also supports Bluetooth 5.2, and its physical connections include optical input, optical output and stereo RCA output.

The module is positioned both as an add-on for existing HiFi Rose owners and as a small standalone streamer for non-Rose audio systems. Advance reservations began through official domestic dealers on 3 July 2026. Rollout to major global markets was expected from 7 July 2026, with a special promotion for existing customers planned through 30 September 2026.
