Offered is „RD160 – Referenz-DAC der Extraklasse“ by HIFI ROSE as second-hand device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5852363163 ends on 26.10.2026 at 11:23 o'clock.
This looks like a fair ask, slightly to the buyer’s side of fair. At €4,100, it sits just below the €4,240 25th percentile and under the €4,262 median of your recent EUR comps, so it is not a bargain-bin outlier, but it is priced a touch below the typical market.
That makes it a sensible buy if the unit is clean and complete. This model is well regarded for a very polished, resolving DAC presentation, and the good condition label matters here because a properly kept example should be straightforward to enjoy without much fuss. At this level, I’d mainly want confirmation of original accessories, packing, and any service history; otherwise, it reads as a solid opportunity rather than a project.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# HiFi Rose
HiFi Rose is a South Korean audio brand founded in 2017 as a division of Citech Company, Ltd., an industrial electronics manufacturer established in 1967. The brand was created by Citech's Chairman Youngmin Kim, a passionate audiophile who sought to apply the parent company's decades of expertise in touchscreen interfaces and embedded systems to premium audio equipment. Based in Seoul, HiFi Rose operates with approximately forty dedicated engineers and designers who develop proprietary technologies in-house rather than relying on third-party solutions.
The brand has built its reputation primarily on network streamers and digital audio components, with flagship models including the RS150B streaming DAC and RS250A network streamer. HiFi Rose distinguishes itself through large, intuitive touchscreen interfaces, support for high-resolution audio formats up to DSD512, and proprietary GaN FET Class-D amplification technology. The company expanded into integrated amplification with the RA180, unveiled at Munich High End in 2023, which combines modern industrial design with analog-focused circuitry.
HiFi Rose occupies the premium segment of the market, with pricing typically ranging from approximately $2,700 to $7,000 for core products. The brand appeals to discerning listeners seeking contemporary digital streaming solutions with refined user interfaces and robust build quality. While relatively young, HiFi Rose has garnered respect within audiophile circles for its engineering rigor and willingness to innovate beyond conventional streaming-device conventions, though long-term reliability data remain limited given its recent market entry.
