I can't the information of rsx-1055 on rotel.com at all. Also, i don't see the retail price of their equipment anymore.

thanks.

The most easy way is to look in the manuals on both products. The RSX-1056 is the newer one and has decoding capabilities of the latest surround formats.

The manual of the 1055 you can download here
For the manual of the 1056 model, look here

You might also try the search tool on this site. There have been numerous threads here discussing this issue. Thats why its here so we don't have the same thread over and over. :P

All the latest stuff has a new generation of preamp in it, most notably, composite, S-Video, and the on screen display are all converted to component video out so you can run one high quality connection to your TV.

I believe the 1056 also added the ability to redirect the front two channels to either channels 6+7 for surround, or to zone 2. I think the 1055 lacked the zone 2 redirect.

lastly, the current crop comes with the RR1050 remote
