Owned a Rotel RCD855 when it came out back in the early 1990's and found it to be a durable component. It also sounded surprisingly good at the time and the coaxial output allowed me to try a few different outboard dac's, including the Meridian 203, which turned out to have a nice synergy with the RCD 855.
Entry CD player question?
If you look at my system you'll see what I have to help me decide on a CD player.
I can't help wonder about my stereo receiver's matching Rotel RCD1072 single disc player, instead of the Marantz which was the top 5 disc player at the time. If anyone knows, please let me know.
Much appreciated,
Mike
