Diapason d'Or

The number 1 in classical music and hi-fi. It is a benchmark in the field of classical music and hi-fi, as well as the distinction it awards to the best devices each year

Overview

Even after three decades of the compact disc’s existence, the RCD-12 demonstrates that there is still potential for performance improvements in CD players. As with other components in the 12 Series range, the digital-to-analog conversion is also entrusted to the Wolfson WM8740 DAC. The WM8740 converter is more commonly found in very high-end CD players, and if you’ve ever wondered how your favorite discs could sound on the world’s best CD players, the RCD-12 will give you much more than a glimpse.

As with the other 12 Series products, the RCD-12 can be controlled using the front panel buttons with the help of the display screen, the infrared remote control, or wirelessly using the Rotel Remote app for iPhone or iPad.

User reviews

Emmanuel

Defective loading mechanism after light use.
Very precise and nuanced CD playback; excellent musicality.

Mécanisme de chargement défectueux après une utilisation peu intense.
Lecture très précise et nuancée des CD ; excellente musicalité.

Eric

Significant noise coming from the drive motor or power supply that is noticeable at low listening volumes. This causes real annoyance and disappointment given the brand's reputation. This player is paired with a LUXMAN digital amplifier connected by a coaxial digital cable to optimize the listening system.

Pros: design / sound reproduction quality at medium to high listening volumes.

Bruits importants provenant du moteur de lecture ou de l'alimentation qui sont perceptibles à faible volume d'écoute. Cela provoque une réelle gêne et une déception vu la réputation de la marque. Ce lecteur est associé à un ampli numérique LUXMAN relié par un câble numérique coaxial pour l'optimisation du système d'écoute.

Les plus : design/ qualité de restitution sonore à volume d'écoute moyen voir élevé.
