Specifications and features

Overview

This is not your father’s tuner. While the T14 can receive traditional FM radio stations, it has also been designed to take advantage of digital radio broadcasts in Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB+), as well as all the popular services available on the Internet. That’s a lot of possibilities, but the Rotel T14 makes selecting them very simple, as easy as pressing a button. The 30 presets in FM or DAB+ allow you to easily access all your favorite radio stations.

An almost infinite number of music sources will be supported by the T14 through the DTS Play-Fi apps for iOS or Android, including Spotify, Pandora, Tidal, Rhapsody, Amazon Music, Deezer, Songza and more. Your options for listening to radio stations have never been so extensive, available, and reproduced with such quality.

I bought this "tuner" after acquiring an A11 and a CD14, for which I have already given a very satisfied review. This receiver was to replace a Yamaha, which was very good in its time but a bit outdated today! I didn't really know what a network player was, and I made a wonderful discovery with this device, whose user manual could use some linguistic and grammatical revision, by the way. So I had to learn everything about AirPlay systems and then about the Spotify platform. After some trial and error, it made music. This device and the sound it offers in this mode and on FM is a great find. The sound quality is on par with a CD and doesn't clash with the rest (A11 and CD14). On FM, the sound spectrum opens up, especially in the bass. For DAB, the corresponding frequencies won't arrive in Sarthe until 2023, so for once, I'm ahead of the game in this area. I believe, with my ears as my measuring instrument, that I have a coherent set in terms of listening. The T14 also provides me with a whole range of possible listening options, which is quite fantastic.

J'ai acheté ce "tuner" après avoir acquis un A11 et un CD14, sur lesquels j'ai déjà donné un avis très satisfait. Ce récepteur devait s'inscrire dans le remplacement d'un Yamaha, très bon en son temps, mais aujourd'hui un peu dépassé ! Je ne savais pas bien ce qu'était un lecteur réseau et j'ai fait une très belle découverte avec cet appareil, dont soit dit en passant, le mode d'emploi mériterait une révision linguistique et grammaticale. J'ai donc du tout apprendre des systèmes air play, puis de plateforme, ici Spotify. Apres quelques tâtonnements, cela a fait de la musique. Très belle découverte que cet appareil et le son qu'il propose dans ce mode et en FM. On est sur un son qualité CD, qui ne dépare pas avec le reste (A11 et CD14). En FM, le spectre sonore s'ouvre, notamment sur les graves. En DAB, les fréquences correspondantes n'arriveront en sarthe qu'en 2023, pour une fois, en la matière, je suis en avance. J'estime, mon instrument de mesure étant mes oreilles, avoir un ensemble cohérent en terme d'écoute. Le T14 me procure de surcroit tout un panel d'écoute possible et c'est assez fantastique.
