Any more surprises on DVD readers from Rotel apart from this 1045?
Is Rotel considering a cheaper reader than the 1092 with similar specs, as the competitors have better ones for the same price or less (denon 3930, 1500 Euros or new Marantz 7001, about 800 Euros)?
I'm following all the posts concerning Rotel DVD Readers and my opinion about what I'm reading is that if Rotel don't reacts soon, it will loose many faithful customers, as they don't offer a good price/quality ratio.- Bottom

The 1060 has also been discontinued (replaced by the 1092 I presume). You could get both the 1050 and 1060 in Europe.
Any idea on whether the 1045 will be available in the UK and if so how much it will cost. Hopefully it won't be a $1=£1 conversion! I need a new DVD player for the bedroom and if it's not too expensive I would consider this. It's probably no better than a cheap Pioneer but it looks nice and should be better made.Dave- Bottom

Dear Rotel Friends.
I am new at this (great) forum and now I decided to register. I like Rotel products very much and I think there are not so many other brands that are able to top the sound quality of Rotel components. But I have my problems with the DVD player series. It should be possible for an audiphil company like Rotel to construct a Universal Player that allows high quality SACD playback. I thought the next player generation of Rotel would be able to do so. But now, after waiting so long for a solution, I have to buy another one, perhaps Denon or one of the new Yamaha series.
Does anybody know, if Rotel will offer a SACD player in the nearer furure (also in Europe)?

The problem for a small (relatively speaking) company like Rotel is the licensing costs for SACD (plus I presume it would cost them in R&D). For the amount of people who would use SACD it's not worth their investing time and money into the format.
Here in the UK both DVDA and SACD are as good as dead. The only places you can usually find either is online. Try www.play.com for a limited selection.Dave- Bottom

I still buy new SACDs and DVD-As all the time! My two favorite online stores are cduniverse.com and elusivedisc.com, both of which have a pretty substantial selection. I just got the following SACDs in the mail yesterday:
- Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed"
- Johnny Cash "Live at Folsom Prison"
- Elton John "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy"
Coming in the next day or two:
- Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane "Rough Mix" (DualDisc)
- Al DiMeola "Consequence of Chaos"
While they're not coming out with as many non-classical releases as in years past, they still are trickling out new releases every now and again. Another one I'm hoping to get for Christmas is the new Doors boxed set, which includes a 5.1 DVD-A mix of their best albums.
If you elect not to pursue these formats, I think you're missing out on a lot. :WBrad- Bottom

You need to learn how to search then, as I just pulled up 861 SACDs from Amazon.com... Then again, maybe it's a limit of Amazon.co.uk?

No HDMI !!! I guess I'll keep my OPPO.
When will someone make a "DVD transport" with digital outputs only (HDMI + digital coax audio) ??
I would have bought a $500 Rotel DVD with HDMI (with no video D/A converter) instead of a $200 OPPO if the digital video processing is as good as the 1092. The build quality would also be better. I would need to use my old DAC but all you guys that have HT receivers or processors would be all set.- Bottom

So, I guess the naming makes sense...puts it squarely between the 1040 and 1050 in terms of functionality. The 1040 had no DVD-A, and the 1050 had multi-channel DVD-A.
Two-channel DVD-Audio...how bizarre.Brad- Bottom

So technically it's not even a DVDA player..

Does this mean that the 1045 was designed for a stereo and a CRT setup in mind.... please tell me if I'm wrong but digital pixel displays like plasma, lcd and dlp should always be connected to a DVD player with HDMI because it avoids a D/A and a A/D conversion..
I still hope they will make a cheaper-than-1092 "DVD transport" with HDMI as the only video output, instead of an already obsolete players. No HDMI in 2006/2007 is like making a new DVD player without component outputs a couple years ago.- Bottom

It's difficult to understand why the latest players are a very expensive 1092 that can't compete in price and/or quality with the new players from the competence, or an expensive (there are so many dvd cheaper players with HDMI, upscaling, DVD-A & SACD capabilities....) 1045 even without HDMI.
How can we decide to go with Rotel with these players when we have HD already in the market?
I would spend 600 Euros for a player like the 1092 that will compare then to other brands in the range price/quality, but with the actual prices and/or features Rotel is driving away potential DVD customers. :M
Rotel. Do you hear us?!!!!!! :Z- Bottom
