Rotel RCD-950 CD-playerAn equipment of Rotel always attracts you by irregular approaches even to its not the coolest models. CD player RCD-950 takes the 4th place in the product line, and a couple of its features earn to be especially detailed. Firstly, this is a specific digit-analog converter, which, being a single-bit by structure, can convert adaptive to synchronous processing of several (up to 5) bits. The way of proceeding is similar to modern algorithm of signal processing in mini-disk recorders and digital sound channels of television. Secondly, for noising the signal, in other words the masking of discrete steps of quantification while reconstruction of analog signal, Delta Sigma principal was used, which, by the way, is also used in some models of other firms. And finally, output digital filtration provides the processing equal to 96 times upsampling. Now, let talk about central placement of CD drive unit, which was realized by the firm only in the top model of CD transport RDD-980. And this is not the craze, meaning the appearance, but a technical necessary, crediting with the reaching stabilized operating position of the drive, which will be appear in higher meanings of parameters. By the way, there is a coaxial digital output for work with recommended brand inverter assembly RDP-980. On the faceplate there is a simple, clear and informative display with two-colored symbols, which is placed above standard set of control buttons of main functions. The control of subsidiary functions is carried out by the buttons, located on the other side from the tray. So, everything here is also very strongly, logically and comfortably. And, surely, you can control everything with remote control; and programming replay from the desk is more comfortable. How did all this luxury go through its paces? The sound of the player is very soft and smoothed, perhaps, because of hooking up the analog filter, after the digital, entirely output at the famous operating amplifiers Burr-Brown. General effect of RCD-950 high quality also increases by comparison rates with its abilities. It is absolutely evidently here, that the firm did roll to the sound side wittingly. To keep the price, series of functions isn't realized in the player (particularly, record editing and ceiling search), which, obviously, won't be necessary, if you chose this player as the main source of your home system.
