Hi Guys,
I've had my Rotel RSP-1098 for 7 years now. It has served me very well. I'm moving to an all HDMI setup and contemplating replacing the RSP-1098 with a new HDMI capable processor. I would keep my RMB-1075 and RB-1070 power amps (Current Equipment) .
Logic would dictate that I move to the RSP-1570. A few things concern me here:
1. Is the audio quality as good as the RSP-1098?
2. The number of issues users has had with HDMI handshaking / audio delays.
3. I will really miss the RSP-1098 screen.
Have anyone gone from the RSP-1098 to the RSP-1570? How does the sound quality compare?
The other processor I am looking at is the Marantz AV-7005. This seems to be receiving great reviews for its sound quality (dynamics / clarity etc…) and functionality. Both the AV-7005 and RSP-1570 are similar in price. The AV-7005 has greater functionality, but I could live without this if the RSP-1570 was superior in sound quality.
Not living in a capital city makes it difficult to audition any of the above gear.
I would really appreciate people’s thoughts on processor options.
Thanks,
Stephen
