    Rotel RCD1072 vs Pioneer47A

    I'm considering adding Rotel1072 to my system, Pioneer47A DVD Player is what I am currently using. Will I hear a difference in sound quality and is it worth buying?

    Sheldon,

    I have the RCD-1070 and the Pioneer Elite DV-59Avi, and my I prefer my hearing my CDs through the 1070. The RCD1072, is a cut above the 1070 that I own. The final cut is to listen and judge for yourself.

    Do you listen to CD's alot?

    Determine your factors and if you can justify your cost, I think it is a worthwhile investment, IMHO. Just my 2 cents, your acoustical mileage may vary.

    Hope this helps,

    Azeke

      I have Rotel RCD-1072 and am quite happy with it. However, I did not have a huge comparision base, since I only had one Sony universal CD/dvd/sacd player prior to Rotel as well as several boomboxes. I also have a pretty good collection of redbook CDs (around 400) and listen to them all the time. I figured it is worth having a Rotel CD player to complement my Rotel RC1070/RB1080 combo and my CD collection, and am definitely not sorry.

        I have a 1072 and a 945 (mid 90's rotel cd player). The 1072 absolutely smokes the 945 - no question about it. I'm not familiar with your DVD player, but when I bought the 1072, I A/B'd it against the Rotel RDV-1060 (dvd player) with a CD only (obviously) comparison. The 1072 edged out the 1060, but not hugely. The difference was enough for me.

        I would say that you will definately hear an improvement. How much of an improvement depends on how good your current DVD player is at CD and on the rest of your system. The best thing that you can do is to take your DVD player to a ROTEL dealer and do an A/B comparison with material that you are familiar with.

        The RCD-1072 is a sweet machine. Happy hunting!

          If you are gearing towards audiophile music, 1072 is a better choice. It's the top-of-the-line model of Rotel, right now. What else could you think about it ? I have it modded, even sounds better.

            Upgrade Rotel 1070 vs Bose 901s
            by fish
            I really enjoy good sound but am new to Rotel and not very technical. I replaced my old system with the Rotel 1070 power and preamp but kept my Bose 901s. I'm looking for a little better sound but am not sure if I should upgrade my 1070 pre amp to the 1090 pre amp, or if I should replace the bose 901s....

            Headphone amp in Rotel 1070
            by Glenee
            Anybody here ever used the headphone output amp on a Rotel 1070 Pre-Amp ? Is it sufficient to run a pair of AKG K701 Headphones or will it still require a separate headphone amp ?
            thanks,

            Hi-

            I just purchase a Rotel RB1070 to beef up my 2 channel listening, which I do more of than movie watching. As I'm waiting for it to arrive, I decided to download the manual and read a little about it. Inside the manual, this advice was offered by Rotel:

            Rotel 1070 cd player
            by shane2468
            Hi Rotel fans,

            For approx 1 year, I have been living with a Rotel RCD-1070 cd player.

            This is really a great sounding cd player, it's so musical and dynamic for the money.

            Just wondering, will the Rotel RCD 991 AE be a better improvement over the 1070? I'm...
