HiFi Rose

HiFi Rose launched in Seoul in 2017 as the audio division of Citech, a Korean electronics firm that's built touchscreen systems and set-top boxes since 1967. Chairman Youngmin Kim, an audiophile since his university days, started the brand with 5 people. It's grown fast. The signature move is the wide front-panel touchscreen on streamers like the RS150 and RS130, running software the company writes itself. The RA180 integrated amp adds the company's own Class AD amplification in a machined aluminum chassis. You stream, you watch, you touch the screen, and it all just works.
