Hi,
I was very happy with my Rotel RCD-1072 bought a couple months ago until I took it to do A/B testing with a modded old Rotel CDP. The modded unit wins hands down. :T The 1072 sounds very good actually. I had compared it with other models before I made my decision.
My unit was modded, with a new Analog Device opamps, better non-bipolar capacitors (at the output stage), and new RCA jacks ("purer" copper), plus an audiophile grade AC cord.
I tested the unit with Jennifer Warnes' The Hunter. The modded unit sounds clearer, darker background, more detailed, more dynamic and sharper staging. I believe the major effects come from the new opamps and capacitors.
1072 sounds great but you can make it even better. :P
FYI.
