    Rotel RSX 1550 vs 1562

    Hi I have a Rotel RSX 1550 which is connected to Vandersteen 2CE Sigs in the front, Vandersteen VCC center and Vandersteen 2CI's as rears. I recently found someone selling a Rotel RSX 1562 for $200 on CL. My questions are as follows:
    1.) Does it make sense to upgrade? I think there's a good chance I could sell my 1550 for more than $200
    2.) What's the real difference between D and A/B - I guess my question is does the 1562 sounds any worse or better?
    3.) For video I'm running the HDMI directly to my TV and using a 4K 60Hz HDR 1x2 HDMI 2.0 splitter, which sends HDMI audio to my Rotel as I wanted 4K on my TV. As a result I don' t think the HMDI 1.4 does anything for me.
    4.) In terms of codecs or sounds formats (DTS, etc) does the 1562 offer anything extra?
    Thanks,
    Mikez

    RSX-1550 to RSX-1560/ 1562?
    by wildpanda86
    I have an RSX 1550 with a full 5.1 speaker setup consisting of B&W 683's and it's matching HTM61 center.

    I was curious about upgrading to an RSX-1560 or 1562 so I can bi-amp my 683's to get an improvement when listening to 2 channel audio from my CD source (an Oppo BDP-95) & Projekt...

    Class d vs Class a/b amps? RSX-1550 vs RSX-1560
    by grit
    I'm demoing a RSX-1550 (class a/b) vs a RSX 1560 (class d). Speakers are Era Design 14s. What I've come to decide is that the class d amp has more power (duh) and is more precise or detailed perhaps? However, when i'm listening to the 1560, I feel like it's obvious that I'm listening through speakers....

    RSX-1550 & Oppo BDP-95 Blu-Ray
    by wildpanda86
    I just picked up an Oppo BDP-95 as I was drawn to the high end DAC's and the fact that it uses a Rotel power supply so it's the closest thing to a Rotel Blu-ray player there is.

    Now I'm trying to decide if the Oppo BDP-95 is worth it for use with my RSX-1550 vs just using the BDP-93....
