HiFi Rose produce some of the most excitingly integratable devices I've ever known in the hi-fi industry. Thanks to Rose OS, a whole world of musical possibilities is at your fingertips - from flawless, fully 'tweakable' playback of your local files, to streaming from Tidal, Qobuz and Rosetube (a Youtube Music rework). All of these options give you a huge variety of playback options, including video!

These are absolutely worth a play in your local authorised retailer's showroom!
