    Has anyone listened to this DAC, or does anyone own it? What are your impressions of it?

      I currently own this DAC. One in my main living room and bedroom. I have a mac mini hooked up to it and I enjoy the sound quite a bit. Nice warm clear sound and of course it depends on the gear you have as well but for my Rotel gear it does the job nicely and am quite happy with this DAC. At present I only have my computer hooked up to it. I had an RCD 1072 hooked up to it but it is now packed away. It sounded excellent through the RDD 1580 as well. Very clear and detailed. There you go and I don't think you would be disappointed but what sounds good to me may not necessarily sound good to someone else. Good luck.

            Sonos, DAC's, NAS, etc
            by BWLover
            Hi everyone. I've got a few (more) questions about computer based audio. I plan on buying Rotel's new DAC. What would be the best way of playing computer based audio through this DAC. I've heard a lot of people talking about Sonos and NAS. How would that all be set up? Let's say I have an external hard...

            800 series owners : what cd/dac are you using?
            by SoundEngine355
            I am curious to find out what CD/DAC everyone is using with their 800 series (or looking at moving to), I've currently got the PS Audio DirectStream and Transport unit.

            I chose this because of glowing reviews and the flexibility of moving away from CD to a digital music platform, but I...

            Rdd-1580 dac & pc
            by BWLover
            Hello everyone. Got a few questions related to using a PC with this DAC, and other related questions. I have a Lenovo W520 4282CS5 ThinkPad. I will more then likely be buying this Rotel DAC. I haven't heard it yet, but it has good reviews, it's in my price range, and I've already got Rotel gear throughout....

            iPhone 6 troubles
            by Johnloudb
            I recently got an iPhone 6. And I loved to listen to Pandora on my old iPhone 4s but this one is really fatiguing after awhile. I first noticed it on my car stereo with it's digital connection hooked up to my kenwood receiver. With the 4s I was in heaven and pandora sounded so good with good recordings....

            NOS iPad music player with AES/EBU for big boy DAC's
            by JonMarsh
            This is a repeat of sorts, because I had this setup working years and years ago when I lived in Livermore, for my bedroom system- and now I wanted to set this up again. Of course, you can never go home, and sometimes things quite working... like the iPad 1 I used in it!


            The motivation...
