Specification Sheet

Reference audio systems deserve reference audio equipment.
The Rotel RC-1590MKII is exactly that -- a reference preamplifier
rending analog and digital sources with natural expression in a
wide and open sound stage in stunning clarity.
The heart of the RC-1590MKII begins with the power supply
featuring dual in-house manufacture toroidal transformers.
The transformers are physically and electrically isolated
supplying dedicated analog and digital supply voltages to all
critical circuits through low ESR slit-foil capacitors eliminating
unwanted distortion and an extremely low noise floor.
Digital source inputs are processed utilizing an audiophile grade
Texas Instruments 32-bit/384kHz Digital to Audio Converter
(DAC) with custom engineered, proprietary acoustically tuned
external output filter circuits rendering even the finest details
with exceptional clarity and exact positing.
Analog signal paths feature DIRECT-PATH bypass modes
eliminating unnecessary circuits maintaining signal integrity and
further eliminating unwanted noise and distortion drawing you
even closer and immersing you in the music.
