Preview for major update features
1. App separation applied in ROSE OS
Introducing the new way to manage Rose’s applications.
Previously, RoseOS used to distribute all applications bundled together, but starting from Rose OS 4.15, we have improved it so that users can install only the applications they desire from the RoseStore.
When you first use Rose (factory reset), you can easily select and install the applications you want to use through the simplified Rose Store. You can only use the features like icons, integrated playlists, and integrated search for the applications that are installed.
Applications that are not installed, excluding Rose’s default applications, do not have icons on the main screen.
When you install an application from the Rose Store, an icon is created on the main screen, and you can use the respective application.
Users can select and install only the applications they want from the Rose Store.
Moreover, after installation, you can delete unused applications to minimize unnecessary items and resources.
2. TIDAL MAX play supported
TIDAL has recently launched a high-quality FLAC streaming service with a maximum of 24-bit/192kHz through an update. Now, HiFiRose is also introducing Tidal’s updated high-quality service to all of you.
TIDAL’s highest audio quality has been changed to ‘Max,’ and TIDAL Masters have been changed to TIDAL HiRes. Additionally, the previous Master, HiFi, High, Normal quality settings have been changed to MAX, High, Low. MAX supports Hi-Res FLAC, MQA, FLAC, and AAC.
In the MAX setting, high-resolution audio is provided in the following order based on availability: HiRes FLAC – MQA – FLAC – AAC.
Max - Up to 24-bit/192kHz high-quality lossless audio (High-Resolution FLAC and MQA).
High - 16-bit/44kHz lossless audio in FLAC format.
Low - Compressed AAC files with a maximum bitrate of 320kbps.
