I recently purchased a Rotel RDV-1080 and while waiting for it to arrive have come to realize it does not play CD-R, DVD-R, or DVD+R discs. When it arrives I will most likely look into selling it after I enjoy some Red Book CDs...
What are your opinions on Rotel DVD players vs Marantz players? Specifically I am looking at the Rotel RDV-1060 or 1050 vs Marantz DV 7600 (the DV 9600 & RDV 1092 is a bit more than I am willing to spend right now.) All of these players support recordable media. The Marantz also supports SACD playback.
The Rotel 1060 has a handful of unhappy buyers in "Club Rotel" anyone know if these problems are prevalent on the RDV-1050? (Noisy disc spinning, DVD-R's stop working, misc. service calls)
My main focus is Surround Sound (DVD-A, DTS) and Red Book CD playback. Video is not all that important for this purchase, I strictly want a great CD/DVD-A player.

Also, on an unrelated note... Am I correct to say your DVD player has nothing to do with the playback quality of a DTS or Dolby Digital track? It is my understanding that the DVD player just passes the digital zeros and ones from the disc to the preamp/processor where it is decoded. With this in mind I conclude that any DVD player (when playing DTS or DD) sounds exactly the same.
Thanks for looking!
