    how great the difference 2ch Rsx972 to Rsp1068 as pre-amp

    Considering a 1068 instead of using my 972 as a per-amp. I have the RCD1072 (cd player) pluged in analog & the RMB 1095 as the power amp to my NS1000M Yamaha speakers for 2 ch with my sub set to cut in at the lowest setting on the sub. I do have a 5.1 setup but mostly play CDs & get into a few live music concerts on DVD (a pity the quality of sound is not that good on most), not into movies.

    My question is how much of a difference (improvement) would I get from my cds. I have tried the cd player into the 5.1 input (just L&R front) & consider it an improvement over the analog from the CD player to the cd input on the amp, which is an improvement over the digital in from the CD player. I like the idea of setting the crosover points for the sub but that makes no difference to the bi-pass analog on the 1068. It would help my music dvds.

    I was considering waiting until the new replacement for the 1068 but that is a lot of listening time.

    Some of you Rotel fans have probably been in a similar situation so your advice will be highly considered in this next step with my system. Should I just sit tight for a year.

    Thanks

    RSP 1068, analog or digital in stereo mode?

    Hi guys, after reading the technical section notes under FAQ on the rotel site, it states the rsp 1066 in stereo mode is analog apart from the subwoofer signal.

    My question is, is the 1068 also analog in stereo mode ?

    The reason I'm thinking it may be different to the...

    1068 analog multi-channel bass management
    by lotones
    I'm having a brain freeze... do the analog multi-channel inputs on the 1068 go through the bass management/crossover/delay processing? Under "MULTI Inputs" the manual says...

    "These inputs bypass all digital processing in the RSP-1068 and are routed directly to the Volume...

    life with rsp 1068 vs 1066 vs 1098
    by rosros
    In feb I had a chance of comparing side by side the rsp 1098 with the rsp 1066. at the time, I was thinking about upgrading from the 1066 to the 1098. the rsp 1098 was a loaner from my rotel dealer. I had the 1098 for one week. Although the 1066 is a wonderful unit, for my usage, ultimately, it was...

    Update on 1068 to 1069 swap
    by WI Rotel
    Well it took me all day since my entire system is "in wall" making connections and running cables is worse than waterboarding :M (but it looks darn good). But I completed the swap, now my new blueray player and plasma are through and through 1080p HDMI connected. Compared to upconverting...
