Rotel RSP-1570 Processor
I would like to know if there any issues with the RSP-1570 even with the latest firmware updates. I am thinking about buying one.

Overall it's pretty solid. There are always certain product combos that the HDMI may not work fully but it doesn't happen very often with the 15 Series Rotel. It's certainly no worse than any other brand I sell (Denon, Pioneer Elite, Sony ES). The one thing that is bothersome for some users is the audio delay using HDMI. It's not really an issue using an optical or coax digital, just HDMI.
If you can listen to one, I'd check out the audio delay and see if it's an issue for you. If not, I'd recommend it.

Maybe I have been missing this, but what audio delays are those with HDMI?Comment

If you are listening to a CD, or some other 2 channel digital signal, there is a delay in the sound where the first little bit of the song is cut off if the audio connection is only HDMI. If you are using analog or a S/PDIF trough optical or coax there isn't a delay so you hear the very beginning of the track selected.Originally posted by Mikael

Thanks Eric
So there is no delay in sourrund sound over HDMI?Comment

Of course it is, but it's not an issue since this delay only occurs when you start the movie and when skipping a chapter! It would be nice if it wasn't there but not a big prob. With CD's it would be different, everytime you skip a song it would occur (via HDMI - but everybody engages the player via optical cable) My blurayplayer has analog cinch, HDMI and an optical cable attached to the RSX1550 and all of them work simultaneously and get a signal, so I'm free to choose which link I want to use: HDMI for BR-movies, analog cinch for direct stereo without subs and optical for stereo with subs.
My only problem atm is that there is a short "crack" sound when starting a track on cd via optical....Greetz from Monnem (Mannheim)

I don't have any crackling but the delay is certainly there. With one of the updates it has become better perhaps from a 5 second to 2 secind delay so better. It would appear as mentioned in a previous post but also if you pause something and then play again. Only over HDMI though.

Just received my new rsp1570. After two hours trying to get the OSD to come up on my pioneer plasma ( only after defaulting the remote ) I managed to hook up my rotel rotel cd player, rotel dvd player rdv1045, and my pioneer blu-ray.
I havent had much time to tinker but the bluray audio...02 June 2009, 01:26 Tuesday -
I wish I could make this non-model specific, but so far, this is all I know of actually delivering to consumers. Got an Integra press release today.
Looks AMAZING for only $800! Note the deep color capability, Audyssey room correction, HDMI upconversion, and HD audio decoding!

OK perhaps not entirely fair comparison... but curious if anyone else made this jump...
Is the Arcam HDMI 1.3a / 1.4 compatible or upgradable.
Anyone comapre the AV888 and the Classe SSP800? ...
Seems the AV888 is neatly positioned between the two units.... -
One of the ways in which I have enjoyed listening to my DVD Concerts is no longer available to me thanks to the "unwillingness" of this RSP1570 to perform as I wish it to rather than the way it "wishes" to.
Previously, with my Denon 3803, I was able to watch a concert... -
Received my new RSP1570 on Monday this past week and on Wednesday noticed something very strange happening.
When I played a CD in my CD player through an optical connection to the 1570, the first half-measure or so of the first song was cut off.....just sounded like it skipped the first...
