Rotel RA-1570 Pro Reviews

The Rotel RA-1570 integrated amplifier is a complete "rewrite" of the company's RA-1520 integrated amp. This is no small model bump, but a total makeover—extreme style. Let's start with the input section of the RA-1570. It's substantially more flexible than what you find in most integrated amplifiers—there's even a rare (for these types of products) front panel USB input. That means Rotel is ready to go with iPods, iPhones, and iPads—not to mention all of the available Android devices. A rear panel asynchronous USB input will support streaming files up to 24/bit/192kHz in resolution. There are also two coaxial (RCA) and optical (TOSlink) digital inputs so you can stream any LPCM music sources. And, since they are designed to handle popular streaming devices with up to 24-bit word lengths sampled at 192kHz, you can use the Rotel RA-1570 as a high-end DAC for your entire hi-fi system.
