A first review can be found here: http://www.goodsound.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/533-rotel-rb-1582-mkii-stereo-power-amplifier haven't heard it yet, i'm firstly interested in the new RC1570 preamp

@Davey, have you auditioned the irDAC as well? Would the M-Dac be worth the extra money? If I can find a RC-1082 cheaply (same series as my other stuff, so nice visual integration), I wouldn't mind buying a stand-alone DAC. still curious how the dac in Rotel RC1570 compares to stand alone one...

First online review of Rotel RC 1570 preamp: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/rotel-rcd-1570-cd-player-rc-1570-p7-preamplifier-and-rb-1552-mk-ii-power-amplifier/ when will Whathifi publish a review? It was announced in the News section. Haven't bought/auditioned one yet.

Thanks for your advice, unfortunately the Audiolab is a 300€ more expensive than the Rotel. The others lack analogue inputs that I need for my other sources (phono, tuner, Aux (=pc)). In the mean time I managed to fix my Rotel RCD 1072 by changing the laser (not that difficult but requires a...

Hi all, i'm looking for a preamp with DAC or with a seperate DAC (Arcam irDac) to partner my rotel equipmant RCD1072, RT 1080 tuner, Sonos Connect and RB1070. My speakers are B&W 805S. I mainly listen to rock, triphop and some metal. currently i use my RA1062 as preamp and the DAC of my RCD...

Yes you can hook 'm up if you have the 'special' cable. See in the manual page 5, Fig 5. normally this type of cable comes standard with the sub in the packaging. http://bwgroupsupport.com/manuals/bw-archive#ID_Subwoofers Cheers, Joris

Dear all, I recently bought a new pc (without seperate soundcard) and I'm looking to upgrade the sound/music performance. I want to get rid of my Creative 2.1 pc speakers and replace it with a small (in dimensions) amp if possible with a built-in DAC (to avoid extra boxes and voltage cables)...

+1 for Beresford: got it in the mail yesterday and hooked it up. Before I used my AV pre-outs connecting to the AUX input of my Rotel RA-1062, which drive my DM6 speakers. Which was a hassle of getting the volume right of the 2 amps. Downside: while running one amp you only can drive 1 pair of...

No, there's nothing wrong with my setup. Indeed, my integrated RA-1062 does not have a unity gain function. So it is inconvenient to adjust the volume of the integrated while changing from listening to music to watching TV/DVD and vica versa. Think I'll have a look for the Beresford option...

Currently I have hooked up my Front Left & Right speakers via pre-out (Yamaha RX-V3900) to my integrated amp (Rotel RA-1062), to enjoy both music and TV/movies through my B&W DM6 speakers. I hooked it up like the video in the How To section. Thing is for watching TV/movies, I have to put the...

hi all, i'm also looking for a new AV receiver, but I'm a bit rusty with all the new AVR tech currently on sale. Currently I have a Denon AVR1910 (Sony BSD360 and Samsung LCD32") and a Rotel 10-series hifi set. They used to be hooked up to their own pair of B&W speakers: AV with DM601's and...

A rule of thumb is: the length of the screw in the wall = the depth of your TV + bracket cheers, Joris

picked up the 2nd hand Rotel RA-1062. I am pleased with it, more detailed and bassier than my old Sony, but a bit on the bright side.

Hi, I have trouble finding an integrated amp, so many choices... I own a pair of B&W DM17's (almost 30 yrs old), currently used with an Sony LBT-V901 (late 80's) which has a built-in DAC (CD and DAT). The left channel is wearing down, not always sound, kinda frustrating. I mainly listen to...
