I am presently writing a review of Rotel's DT-6000 DAC Transport and RA-6000 integrated
they are a VERY interesting pair
that's all I can say for now.

ROTEL Diamond Series
I've read some reviews and am kind of intrigued by the ROTEL Diamond Series DT-6000 and RA-6000, and wanted to hear experiences and thoughts from the hive. It seems they put a pretty good DAC in the transport, so much so that it's made to function as such in addition to being a CD player, but know some folks are opposed to this on the principle. Mostly listen to classical and jazz.
I currently have an Audio Analogue Puccini Special Edition integrated amp (I have had for 20 years and has served me well), an Emotive ERC-3 CD player (am pretty meh about), and Emotive Stealth DAC (which has worked well enough). I play these through my Triangle Celius 202 speakers (that I've also had for 20 years and still love).
It may be that simply a new CD transport (and possibly DAC) would be the way to go, but the new ROTEL pair are, literally, made for each other and I'd like to hear more. Thanks.
