Our take on the HiFi Rose RS520

The HiFi Rose RS520 is a network streaming amplifier that combines a music streamer, DAC and 250 W-per-channel class D power amp in one aluminum chassis. Its standout is the wide 12.6-inch touchscreen, which shows album art, VU meters and video, and it runs Rose OS with support for Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2, DLNA and local files. It suits people who want one box for streaming and speakers without a stack of separates, and it competes with streamers like the Cambridge Audio Evo 150 and Naim Uniti Atom on features, though it is larger and heavier than most. Owners rate it highly for sound and build, but some find the app and setup less polished than the hardware.

Questions and answers

Is the RS520 powerful enough for floorstanding speakers?
With 250 W per channel it drives most floorstanders with ease. Very low-sensitivity or low-impedance speakers may still benefit from a separate power amp.
Does it support AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect?
Yes. It supports AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal, Qobuz and DLNA streaming, plus local files over USB and network.
Can I connect a TV to it?
There is no HDMI ARC input, so TV audio needs an optical or analog connection instead.
Does it have a phono stage for a turntable?
No. A turntable needs an external phono preamp before connecting to its analog inputs.
What is in the box?
The RS520, a remote control, power cable and basic documentation. Speaker cables are not included.
How does it compare with the Cambridge Audio Evo 150?
Both are one-box streaming amps with big screens. The RS520 offers more power and a larger display, while the Evo 150 is more compact and adds HDMI ARC.
