The HiFi ROSE RA280 is a stereo integrated amplifier built around the same Class AD topology as the flagship RA180. Instead of the silicon FETs used in a conventional Class D output stage, ROSE switches with gallium nitride (GaN) FETs, which cuts dead time to roughly a tenth of the usual figure and keeps the output linear. Two completely separate amplifier modules run as monoblocks, each rated 250 watts into 8 ohms and 250 watts into 4 ohms, fed by a 500 watt switching supply that uses silicon carbide FETs and a 2.5 kW power factor correction circuit.

Connections are all analog: one balanced XLR pair, three line level RCA inputs, a moving magnet phono input selected by a front switch, a mono subwoofer output and 12 volt triggers. The front panel carries illuminated analog level meters with a three level dimmer, bypassable bass and treble controls with 15 dB of adjustment, and a motorized volume knob that tracks the remote and the ROSE phone app. There is no DAC or streaming section inside, so a digital source such as a network streamer pairs with it over its analog inputs.
