The RD160 DAC is a state-of-the-art digital-to-analog converter that elevates your music to a new dimension. Equipped with precise ROSE DPC™ (Digital Processing Core) technology, the RD160 offers complete separation of digital and analog signal paths, ensuring unadulterated and detailed sound reproduction. With a fully balanced design and three independent, specially developed power units for each signal, the RD160 processes all audio sources with the highest precision and clarity.

Thanks to the high-precision OCXO clock, jitter is minimized, resulting in natural and clean sound reproduction. The RD160 also uses first-class J-FET OP-Amps and high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) for the internal connections to deliver sound with the highest purity and without distortion.

With its hidden AMOLED display, the RD160 not only offers excellent performance but also an elegant user interface that can be seamlessly integrated into any modern hi-fi system. The RD160 is more than just a DAC – it is a symbiosis of state-of-the-art technology and stylish design that elevates your listening pleasure to a new level.
