Just wondering how people are liking the 1570s dacs compared to the Burr-Browns in the 1069. Kevin, maybe you have an opinion?

I was without the 1069 for about two months and only had a cheaper pioneer. Upgraded to the 1575 at the same time so no real direct comparison.
It's a little harsher on the treble, but that's probably more in the amp. I'm also the last person you would want to have give you an opinion. I'm not that critical, more whether it sounds good or not. The cheaper Pioneer did not..

Originally posted by Kevin DGoing from the 1077/1069 to the 1575/1570 is a little harsher. It's not harsh, just harsher then before. Closer to what my 1095/1098 sounded like.

Any idea if the 1570 is using Burr-Browns like the 1069?
I'm looking toward a 1570/1077 combo (upgrading from a 1068/Carver AV-705x). I love my 1068, but I'm going to be stepping up to HDMI/Blu-ray soon, and had been salivating over the better dacs in the 1069. So I'm hoping the 1570's sound is comparable to the 1069.- Bottom

Yea I bet. For me it was basically get an RSX-1550 which is just like what I have with HDMI audio and decoding or get the 1069/1075. I have salivated over the 1075 for years so I really wanted to step up into the separates and pick up a 1075 for cheap before they were all gone. Not even sure if Rotel plans on making a 1075 replacement.
From what I gather, it seems most all the issues with the 1069 have been addressed and I like the scaler bypass feature. I would rather my Pioneer Kuro and HTPC handle all the video processing, I don't need another one messing around.- Bottom

Originally posted by Kevin DYup, for all inputs but HDMI. Kind of sucks since i can't scale 720p PS3 games to 1080i anymore.
Kevin D.
Did you notice an improvement when you did? Did you mean to say you scaled it to 1080p? Arent there still issues with the video processor in the 1069 when doing anything besides bypassing it or scaling to 1080p?
I havent been keeping up to date since I got the bypass firmware.- Bottom

All the issues I had with the 1069's scaling were fixed by the time I got rid of it. Mine never had the bypass mod done to it.
