An even more revealing player, including HiFi Rose’s own RS151, will bring out even more of the air in these recordings. For a reduced price, however, the RS451 is both appealing and very listenable. And when you add in all the ease of operation and the flexibility on offer – more than most of us will ever use – there’s much to commend this ‘semi-reference level’ player.
Load it up with a comprehensive library on an inserted SSD, and connect up a USB drive to rip your CDs, and it will probably cater for just about your every need. The RS451 also has that network access and ability to play, or copy, content from local and network storage, Internet radio and more – even if you never connect it over HDMI to your TV to play back YouTube content, etc. Steer clear of all those in-depth settings in the menus, unless you really wish to while away the odd wet afternoon, and you won’t go far wrong.
