    Class D amps, RDV-1092 power supplies

    With all the discussion here recently regarding the RB-1091/92 and now the interest in the RDV-1092, I find one aspect curiously absent from these discussions: nobody has mentioned the fact that the RDV-1092 uses a switching power supply just like the class D amps. No more torroid.

    I do wonder if the qualities noticed in the class D amps may also show up in the RDV-1092 to some extent? Of course it is possible that all these sonic qualities people are hearing are not all entirely due to the switching power supply. Perhaps it is not as significant in a disc player as it is in an amp. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this as it would relate to the disc players analog output?

      Gianni, where did you get that information?. I can't find much info about the 1092.

      Another question: should'nt it be cheaper if it is not using the expensive toroidal power supplies?

          Straight from Rotel's website.

              Correct me if I wrong (as I often am!) but don't all Rotel's DVD players use a switching power supply? I'm sure my RDV-1060 does. It's probably not necessary for a DVD player to use a toroidal PSU.

                  Class d vs Class a/b amps? RSX-1550 vs RSX-1560
                  by grit
                  I'm demoing a RSX-1550 (class a/b) vs a RSX 1560 (class d). Speakers are Era Design 14s. What I've come to decide is that the class d amp has more power (duh) and is more precise or detailed perhaps? However, when i'm listening to the 1560, I feel like it's obvious that I'm listening through speakers....

                  A View into the Rotel 15 Series Class D Amps
                  by =AirCeej=
                  During the process of putting another HT together, I began auditioning amps to replace a Sunfire Series 1 Load Invariant and an Anthem MCA20 – noteworthy at the respective price points in their day and for the Sunfire: novel. Appreciating the ideas and most of the execution designed into the Sunfire,...

                  by 5th element
                  So I've mentioned a couple of times about the SB65WBAC full range driver and how one of my projects for them is a bluetooth loudspeaker for a family member. Well I figured it'd be nice if I posted about them a little. A bit like Jon, although not by trade, I am more a sparks and wires guy than a making...

                  Rsx1560
                  by Dmantis
                  Whats up all?

                  Anyone first off know the release of the the 15 series? I'm also wondering about the RSX1560. It looks to have built in ICE class D digital amps built in. 7x100. Thats pretty cool. 4u rack space total. Thats also cool. I'm wondering how it would do in a 7 channel home theater...

                  Why don't Aragon, Bryston, Rotel, Parasound, Proceed, etc make Class G amps?
                  by Ricky
                  Does anyone beside me wonder why just about every major amp manufacturer doesn't use Class G designs in their amps? Most amps are A/B with varying bias in pure Class A. These new Outlaw/NHT 200 watt monoblocks go from A/B to G at 80 watts. So above 80 watts, you are listening to G. If Class G sounded...
