Anyone know anything about Rotel's latest DVD player? My dealer says its coming out in March, model RDV-1060, will retail for $900, and that, musically, it outperforms comparably priced CD players.

A comparably priced CD players, would be a REGA planet. Guess what? the Rega CD player is one of the best CD Players in that price range. There is no way the RDV 1060 will even come close based on simply cost per function vs what it does.

think of it this way: "All things being equal"
$800 = REGA Planet ( the price can range $900 to $700 low even)
+$400 CD Transport stage
+$400 for DACs (2 channels)
or
$800 = RDV-1060
+$400 CD/DVD Transport stage
+$200 for DACs (6 channels)
+$100 for DSP/Decoders
+$100 for Video

That is just an example but you get the Idea.
Sorry but your dealer is just trying to make a sell.
