Rotel RCD-1572 MKII
True Audiophile CD Player of Exceptional Quality
Since the introduction of the CD format in the early 1980s, the development of CD players has never ceased. Despite CDs gradually being overtaken by streaming services, Rotel has remained committed and now surprises again with an exceptional CD player.
Rotel RCD-1572 MKII is equipped with a 32-bit Texas Instruments DAC chip that carefully processes and converts the digital signal into analog. The analog signal can be output via either single-ended RCA outputs or the balanced XLR output. If you have an external DAC, you can choose to use the coaxial S/Pdif output and use the RCD-1572 MKII as a pure CD transport. This CD player represents the culmination of Rotel's more than three decades in the Hi-Fi industry, and it's refreshing to see a manufacturer continue to show great respect for this aging format. Pair the **Rotel RCD-1572 MKII** with the **Rotel RA-1572 MKII** amplifier, for example, and experience one of the finest Hi-Fi setups available.
High-Quality Hi-Fi at Reasonable Prices
Rotel has been delivering affordable, high-quality Hi-Fi for over 50 years, developing and manufacturing its products in its own factories—an uncommon trait in today's Hi-Fi world. Rotel's development philosophy is based on the company's long-standing Balanced Design Concept, which consists of three key principles: 1. Rotel's developers rigorously test potential suppliers' products for durability and sound quality. This often results in higher component costs, but Rotel believes it pays off in terms of better performance and longevity. 2. All Rotel products are designed symmetrically to ensure that all signal paths have the same conditions. Additionally, they incorporate star grounding, a technique to prevent ground loops and humming.
Throughout the development process, individual components, as well as the finished product, undergo extensive listening tests to ensure that engineering excellence translates into great sound quality. 3. Rotel offers a wide range of Hi-Fi products, from affordable amplifiers and CD players to powerful power amplifiers and premium surround products. Despite their simple, classic design, Rotel is often at the forefront of new technologies, such as amplifiers with digital inputs, Class D power amplifiers, and combined DAB+ and internet radio tuners.
