CC, I own a 1072 and love it yet it seemed to not be able to replicate piano and female voices as well as I wanted it to. It does do very well on the pipe organ pieces that I play however the tradeoff is the piano is now in the room and I simply switch cables for pipe organ pieces. I have a Bel Canto DAC 2 in the system. I tried a Benchmark and like it but the Bel Canto is better. I called and asked Bel Canto and they think highly of the Rotel as a cd player or transport. As you know the items in your system-pre, amps, speakers and cables will impact on this recommendation. Hope this helps. Steve
Rotel RCD 1072, As a CDP,Transport or with LinkDac
Hi all,
Thx in advance for any suggestions or help :)
Any opinions on the Rotel RCD 1072 ,as a stand alone CDP, or only as a Transport with an original Link Dac from about 6 yrs ago [ like new ]...
How does the DAC in the RCD 1072 compare with the Link DAC, any benifit either way ...
Also any news on a replacement for the RCD 1072 from Rotel any time soon, this is about 3 yrs old or so, getting long in the tooth for a CDP these days is it not .
I have Mc MA6900, MC Tuner, ProAc Tablette 50 Speakers on good weighted stands , AU Power Cables & IC's , etc ...
Music, 1000's of CD's some HDCD's some SACD's , JAzz, Blues, Classical & Various forms of Rock ...
Looking for a CDP under $1000. CDN to match this gear to fill in till a more suitable higher end CDP can be purchased thus the LinkDac question ...
Thx again for the help ....
CC
