    1068 vs 1098

    I've already upgraded from the 1075 to the 1095. Can my fellow
    Rotelians give me the pro's and and cons if I upgrade to the 1098 from the 1068 or do I save my moneyfor the PS3. I didnt realize the price gap between the 1068& 109 was huge. Also does having the balanced connections to the 1095 improve anything. Anyone tested the connections in comparison to the RCA cables. Thanks everyone for your support.

    The balanced inputs on the 1095 are not true balanced inputs, they get converted back to unbalanced inside the amp. Pretty much everyone that's tried never notices a difference worth the price of admission.

    As far as the 1098 vs 1068, I would say wait on the 109X. It's close enough for some people to say go with the 1068, and if I had to do it again I probably would go with the 1068 as well.

      I concur with Kevin, I would stick with the 1068. Save your money for the PS3, you gonna need it at a $600.00 for the 60G version .

      I was contemplating waiting for the PS3, but the X360 (Premium) was available, via a birthday present. Then I thought to myself, $600.00 is a lot of cabbage, and this doesn't even include your additional accessories and games. However I digress.

      Peace and blessings,

        RSP-1098 and RMB-1095 questions
        by thunderstorm77
        Good morning!

        I finally got my RSP-1098 and RMB-1095, I must say I couldn't be more satisfied. A huge step up in sound quality, especially stereo, which is awesome considering it's a surround system. I use a high-end HTPC for all audio and video sources, and use the TV-out on the graphics...

        RSP-1068/1098 replacements
        by mafoo
        Is there any further speculation on the feature set and possibility of an 07 roll-out for 1068/1098 replacements? I'm wondering if we'll see HDMI 1.3 w/ Dolby Plus/TrueHD decoding. I have to complete my upgrade by end of 07 or lose a 3 year window with my dealer where I get full price credit on my...
