I'd like to know how the RSP-1066 perfomes with plain stereosound (i.e. from a good CD player, like the RCD-990). For good quality stereo I still use my RC-995. Can the RSP-1066 replace my RC-995 without loss in stereo quality?

IMHO, if you are willing to entertain the idea of using a HT pre-amp for 2-channel, the quality of the RSP-1066 will be more than acceptable. This is exactly how I currently use my 1066. -
I don't have any problems with my unit for 2 channel performance either.

My experience has been that the 1066 actually sounds a tiny bit better in the analog domain than it does in the digital domain (not that there is anything wrong with the sound quality of the digital domain). I believe the S/N ratio in the digital domain is 92dB vs 95db for the analog domain.

Gregg if you're in analog then aren't you comparing the DAC's in your CD player vs the Rotels?

Hi Andrew,
Could very well be. I use my Sony 500V DVD/SACD player for playing CD's and though its a SACD player at $179 I doubt it has better DACs than the 1066.
All I know is that when I listen to two-channel material thru the 6.1 analog bypass inputs I get just the slightest hint of a more open soundstage. Then again it could be that when I am running all of my speakers I could have some cancellation issues. I havent started accoustically treating my room yet (and it needs it!)

Please chip in with your ideas. I have an SSP 800 and a CA-5200 amp. If I am after the best quality stereo presentation which source am I best to use? A CDT 300, CDP 102, or CDP 202? Is it better to use the DACS in the processor or the source? or is it just as good using a cheap $300 transport? Please... -
Hi there!
I'm getting a bit confused by now and I'm hoping that someone can give me a good bit of advice here.. In Holland we don't have that much experts on Rotel equipment since it is a whole lot more expensive than in the US..
Basically I'm looking for a new system... -
Interested if anyone has an RB1080 or 991 teamed up with either RC1070 or older pre-amp such as RC995. In doing research, a used RC955 costs about same as a new RC1070. Wait are the differences and sonic characters on either pre-amp? Any info greatly appreciated. Tyring to make a hard decision on investing... -
