Rotel RC-1072

Polk Bretheren,
I wanted to offer my lightly used Rotel RC-1072 to the site prior to posting on AudioGon. This truly giant-killer CDP is less than 2 yrs old and was used in my secondary system - this sytem was used 90% of the time to listen to LPs. I am the original owner, purchased new in Dec. 2008. I have the original box, remote and manual. My reason for selling is I am replacing it with a McIntosh MVP-871 universal player. My newly purchased unit is in transit and should arrive soon. I can honestly state without a doubt that this fine HDCD player has less than 100 hrs of use.

The RCD-1072 proves conclusively that cost-conscious high performance in a single disc CD player is still available – and still outperforming many so-called “audiophile” DVD players. Utilizing circuit configurations originally developed for Rotel’s reference-class components, this affordable unit redefines your sonic expectations. The segmented power supply features a large toroid transformer for minimal power supply “sag” as well as reduced hum emissions. High quality rectifiers, tight tolerance voltage regulation, and low-ESR storage capacitors make sure that all circuits always operate as their designers intended. The critical analog stage uses meticulously selected parts in a “minimalist” circuit environment to insure the finest sound quality. The RCD-1072 uses the same over-scan disc mechanism once reserved only for premium priced players. The remarkable new Burr-Brown PCM-1732 IC provides advanced digital filtration, HDCD decoding, and precise D/A conversion. A coaxial digital output supplements the high current analog outputs. A high-density FL display, complete programming capability, remote control, and a 12-volt trigger complete the picture.

Asking price is $400. Shipping included if asking price is met. Please, no lowball offers, they will be ignored. I have sold items on A-Gon and this site too.
