Excellent produit, acheté il y a plusieurs semaines, ce ROTEL RDD1580 apporte vraiment un plus à mon installation hifi.

This DAC is very good, even excellent. I'm coming from an ATOLL DAC100SE, and the ROTEL is more analytical without losing the essence of the music (the XLR outputs are less analytical than the RCA outputs). I've gained depth and detail. It recognizes all formats well (16bits/44.1kHz to 24bits/192kHz). Very happy with my purchase.
Pros: Excellent. Cons: Relay noise when it recognizes different formats (44.1kHz to 192kHz).

Ce dac est très bon, voire excellent. Je sort d'un dac ATOLL DAC100SE, le ROTEL est plus analytique sans perdre l'essence de la musique (les sorties XLR sont moins analytiques que les sorties RCA) . J'ai gagné en profondeur et détails. Il reconnait bien tous les formats (16bits/44.1khz à 24bits/192khz) . Très content de mon achat.
Les plus : excellent. Les moins : bruit de relai quand il reconnait les différents formats (44.1khz à 192khz) .
