CD PLAYER
RCD-1572
Since 1982, when the CD was introduced, Rotel has been refining
technology and evolving circuitry to bring you extraordinary
sound from the familiar silver disc. As most music lovers have a
substantial collection of compact discs, a high quality CD player
is still an important part of most music systems. The RCD-1572,
the outstanding CD player in Rotel‘s 15 series, focuses careful
refinements to reveal even the most subtle nuances buried in
a CD’s pit spiral.
The RCD-1572 elevates performance by utilizing a purpose designed
and built CD mechanism along with other circuit refinements. One
of the RCD-1572’s most important features is the Wolfson WM8740
digital filter/stereo digital-to-analog converter. Originally developed
for high resolution sources, it is the product of extensive research
and real world testing and processes digital signals up to 24-bits
in length at sampling rates from 8 kHz to 192 kHz.
While word lengths and sampling speed may seem excessive
for CDs delivering data at far lower rates, this high speed facility
adds reserve capability to ensure proper reproduction under all
circumstances. As the most crucial link between a CD’s digital
data and the analog world in which we listen, this converter
boasts significant attributes in addition to its superb high
resolution capabilities.
The post-converter analog circuitry benefits from Rotel‘s decades-
long experiences in cra ing the finest sounding pathway from
the DAC’s internal output to RCA and XLR rear panel connectors
that bridge the gap between the RCD-1572 and down-stream
components. All circuit components – resistors, capacitors,
inductors – are chosen only a er their positive contribution to
sound quality were quantified and verified qualitatively by
extensive listening sessions.
All of these circuits draw on a power supply based on an oversized
custom Rotel-designed and precision-manufactured toroidal
power transformer that, in turn, feeds precise rectifiers, tight-
tolerance voltage regulators, and advanced Slit-Foil low-ESR
storage capacitors, all globally sourced to ensure musically
accurate operation under even the most demanding conditions.
This is all part of Rotel’s long-proven Balanced Design Concept.
It’s yet another way of assuring you that the RCD-1572 evidences
a level of attention that will make it part of your reference-level
music system for years to come.
