Rose SPF Connection Kit
The SFP Connection Kit offers an optimised, Fibre Optic Connection for HiFi Rose Devices.
If you want a silent, high-quality audio system, fibre optic connections can be a beneficial enhancement, and HiFi Rose are one of the few companies in the audio industry that can support this connection method.
The SFP Connection Kit is designed for each SFP connection between the RS130 network transport and the RD160 DAC.
Electrical Separation
Fibre optic cables transmit data through light, which removes electrical connections between your audio devices.
This separation prevents ground loops and minimises the chance of electrical noise and interference from other connected equipment.
Enhanced Signal Quality
Optical connections are not affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which can compromise the audio signal when using conventional copper cables.
This guarantees a clearer, more pristine signal pathway.
Long-Distance Signal Transmission
Fibre optic cables can send data over significantly longer distances without degrading signal quality, unlike USB or coaxial cables.
This is especially advantageous in larger setups where the streamer and DAC are situated far apart.
Minimised Jitter
Many current fibre optic systems feature sophisticated clocking technologies that reduce jitter (timing inaccuracies in digital signals).
This results in more precise digital-to-analogue conversion and improved sound quality.
Removal of Electrical Distortion
In contrast to USB or coaxial connections, which can bring in noise from devices like computers or streamers, fibre optic cables are not subject to these problems.
This leads to a quieter audio backdrop and enhanced dynamics.
Increased Flexibility for Audiophile Systems
Fibre optic systems often provide the option for modularity and upgrades, as seen in configurations using optical USB hubs or transceivers like the HiFi Rose RSA720.
These setups accommodate multiple devices and extensive cable runs while maintaining quality.
