    Arcam to release SACD player. Rotel next?

    After NAD and Cambridge Audio is Arcam finally going 'to the dark side' and is going to release a SACD player. I wonder how long it will take before Rotel will issue one as well (and realise they just released their RDV-1092 a bit early?).

    I'd rather see a Blu/HD player and separate (SA) CD/DVDA player... upgrade wise...

      I seriously doubt that Rotel will come out with an SACD player. I honestly have no particular reason for saying this, it just seems that they will avoid the SACD format..... But I could be wrong.

      If they do, and it plays DVD-Audio and SACD I might have to throw my player out the window and get one..... ROTEL FTW!!

          The Arcam appears to be a killer player but it is a year too late. Rotel will never release an SACD player

              Well, that's what NAD and Arcam said... it seems the new Arcam player is a very serious competitor for Rotel's RDV-1092... but I doubt the Arcam player is cheaper, they have a tendency to be rather pricy. But if Rotel is not, they are now nearly alone (No, please don't quote the brands that also cannot afford to develop an SACD player)

              With the upcoming Blu/HD format war, I'm not going to buy either but wait until one format is dead or a universal player is released. That may take a few years.

                  as I said above. Rotel will not release an SACD player, they have said so many times, they have had numerous opportunities to do so in the last two years and did not despite a large number of pleas from customers for a universal player. With the new digital players coming on line now, they almost certainly will not do so now unless DVD-A and SACD can be economically incorporated into a new player with one or both of the new codecs.

                      Maybe they could start a trend and offer a Universal Music Player... Maybe only allow composite video out for DVD-A menus, but by skipping out on the majority of the video processing in favor of audio, and offer HDMI 1.2 (or 1.3).

                      Hey, I can dream :Z

                                  Sony DVD/CD/SACD player remote controlling Rotel RX 1052 Stereo Receiver
                                  by thyname
                                  I recently purchesed the Sony DVD/CD/SACD player model DVPNS775V. Anybody has any idea for the code number for Rotel RX 5200 Stereo Receiver to control it through Sony remote control? It was not listed on Sony manual.

                                  Also, what is the best audio cable to be used with the above components...

                                  Need some input:

                                  I'm looking for a new digital transport for my system. I currently have a Rotel RSX-1055 powering M&K 850's. My sources consist of an older 300 pound Denon CD only player (DCD-1520) and a Sony SACD/DVD player (non progressive).
                                  My biggest desire is to see...

                                  I am in a quandry, i use an arcam dv29 for dvd/cd,and most importantly dvd-a, it is fine, however ,as usual, ( i bought BETA) i chose the format with the least choices

                                  so i am trying to narrow down the choices on an SACD player,

                                  Krell SACD standard...

                                  YARC - Yet Another Receiver Comparison (Arcam vs Rotel)
                                  by samurray
                                  First off, has anyone spent time listening to a Rotel RSX-1055 with any of the PSB Image series speakers? (Image 4Ts especially)
                                  The PSBs have solid, bass, smooth mids but the metal tweeter can be harsh with the wrong amp (say a Yamaha for instance). How would folks characterize the Rotel's sound....
