Martin, you must be clairvoyant! :lol:

You Know it Rebel Man!...ask me anything! :W
Do you agree with my feelings on SACD / DVD-A?

I'll wait to see what HD DVD has to offer before I make a committment to a new player. I have the panasonic s97 dvd player that also does dvd-a and although this is a budget player I am more than happy with it - for now.

I recently traded in my Rotel 1060 for a Marantz DV9500, as i was very dissapointed in the software available..the 1060 was great at CD and DVD-A...but the selection of SACD is so much better.
I agree that at this point Rotel won't release a SACD player.
I also firmly believe SACD will be around for a good while (certainly longer than DVD-A) as it is going to be 3-5 yrs befor this HD-DVD / Blu-ray crap is finalized and there is any decent software availabe.

How would you compare marantz to the rotel in regards to the dvd audio and two channel?

I visit a supershop in Frankfurt that sell SACD and CD
I found out a few of customers comes to the SACD section
although the software of SACD is very limited
I think in 5years later SACD is sorry ........dead :Z

hehe, it's time to ask the question again, after the summer break, just before the announcements of new component releases in September. Wishful-thinking? It seems that most hifi companies have at least 1 sacd compatible player, except a few who have financial interests in promoting dvd-a rather than sacd (sony, meridian, etc)...

So come on Rotel, do it!

[RebelMan]

Sorry csuzor, that is wishful thinking. Rotel is firmly behind DVD-A.

Hehe, anyone heard this rumour, or any other info to confirm it?

"Rotel have tentative plans to introduce a player with SACD capability to the range; no promises. This is likely to be next year but unfortunately, specifications and release dates are not known."

I now have a dedicated CD/SACD from Sony, which is much better than the Denon I used, but a nice Rotel SACD player (must be multichannel) would be welcome!

NAD, Arcam, Cambridge Audio, Harman/Kardon... are manufacturing SACD compatible players now. There are over 3800 SACD titles. "It is proving a slow-burn introduction but we have great expectations of SA-CD’s growth in 2006."

Is Rotel prejudiced against Super Audio CD? :roll:

Hi all !

Normally Rotel will release a Hi-end CD/SACD player this November, as well as other new products (digital radio, scaller, and ... 1098 successor )
