Rotel Rcd-1572

If you go with a 2-3K$ Dac, 
get a inexpensive player to use as a transport. A nice Tascam , or any one of lots of players. Check sweet water for a nice pro CD player, 

no need for the rcd1572 if your gonna bypass the dac in it, the 1572 is a darn fine CD player, you would not need a stand alone dac with that CD player.  The rcd  1572 - is an amazing sounding player. Get the 1572 ,listen out of the box right away, then after 24 hours, ... let her play continuously for 72 hours,....then have a listening night, report back.

  Wish I could have the Rotel rcd 1572. 
I still use the Pioneer elite Dv-79avi- the best CD player I’ve ever owned, and hope I’m not jinxing myself,..
reliable, and great features. 
Would trade or sell the pioneer for the Rotel rcd1572  in a second!

Just found a review of the Rcd-1572 in Hi-Fi plus, they mentioned the Transport is worthy of running much more $$ external Dac.looks like I keep this for a whileShe is hooked to a Bryston BDA-3 which is a large refinement in the older BDA-1. Quite good!

anyone?

Is the transport on the rotel RCD1572 Holding back performance on say an 3-4K outboard dac?

I am sorry I cannot be of much help as your lack of punctuations makes it hard for me to understand whether you are making a statement or asking a question.

The Rotel RCD-1572 is a very good CD player for the price. It has a very decent DAC built in. Yes, it can act as a transport only, digital out to an external DAC. But my guess is you have to spend more than the price of the RCD-1572 on an external DAC to get better results than the Rotel CD player alone.

Hope this helps

Other then using the 1572 as a transport

Rephrase, So the transport in the rcd 1572 isnt all that great, and Dac in 3K range would best be served by a Very good Transport

Generally they are all made of plastic and are pretty much junk! Only a very few players offer aluminum or metal in the tray and mechanics, this is why if I were purchasing a CD player to use as a transport I would pick a top loading machine and disregard the sliding tray.

Is that a question or a statement?

The RCD-1572 is a CD player. It has a DAC built in. You do not need another DAC to play music through it
