    Need opinions RSP 1068 new vs 1098 used

    Subject line basically says it all. I've never purchased any audio/video equipment used so it makes me a bit nervous, but I don't want to invest full boat price in a 1098 that could be discontinued soon. I am able to get a used 1098 for $500 more than a new 1068, would it be worth it? I really don't need the TFT screen, but I would like the better quality (?) sound of the 1098.

    Thanks in advance...

      So you are able to get a used 1098 for $2,200 (USD)?
      If so, I'm pretty certain that's not a great deal. I'd say it's about $100-300 over what I have seen in the secondary market for a used 1098.

              I know how everyone bags on the TFT screen, but I find it quite useful for DVD-A. Don't have to turn on your TV. I'm always futzing with controls and have the OSD setup for the TFT screen. This realy makes my wife happy.

              A used one would be worth it IMHO.

                  Jerry,

                  I have seen the RSP-1098 between $2100-2200 US on Audigon.

                  I own the 1098 and I am not disappointed in it's performance.

                  I also like the TFT screen, which I utilize constantly, but you could always buy a separate monitor, if that is not important to you. There are also some upgraded components in the 1098 vs. 1068. The 1098 also has upgradeable hardware, (hopefully Rotel will provide the upgrades).

                  Is there anyway that you can compare both units to justify the 1098's additional $500.00 cost, that would be the optimal alternative?

                  Good Luck,

                  Azeke

                      by Aussie Geoff
                      Hi,

                      As promised, HERE is V4.0 of the "Wish-list" for the Rotel RSP-1098 (Updated Sunday 7 March 2004).

                      Some key points:
                      • It now incorporates the RSP-1068 and the RSX-1067, with the latest version of firmware for these.
                      • It has been updated to reflect the capabilities
                      ...

                      G'day,

                      After a long saga trying out an RSP-1068, then an RSP-1066, I finally settled on the RSP-1068 yesterday. I think (hope!) I've made the right choice.

                      Anyway, I've got a couple of questions, which I trust someone here can help answer.

                      (1) I've got an...

                      Thought that would grab your attention !!!

                      In deciding whether to upgrade from 1066 -> 1098 / 1068 I have come up with perhaps what I see as an ideal Processor. I find this pretty usefull as not only does it determine what features are actually used and desired by customers but also...

                      RSP 1098/1068 and HDTV
                      by lsolimine
                      Good day. I am ugrading from my RSP-985, due to its lack of component inputs/output and my television only having one component input, in order to take advantage of Comcast adding HDTV in my area. Has anyone had any problems or issues with either the 1098 or 1068 and HDTV? Thank you.

                      Hi all,

                      I had an oppertunity to upgrade my rsp-1068 to a rsp-1098.

                      I have all sources (xbox 360, Denon dvd-2900, satbox and popcornhour) component connected to the RSP and then to the beamer/plasma.

                      In order to use the tft screen on the front, I also connected...
