Slightly off topic - How does the "AE" version differ from the "normal" Rotel 991???
Rotel RCD 991 AE with MSB III Half Nelson DAC
I am thinking of purchasing a Rotel RCD 991 AE CD player.
I presently have a Dynaco CD-1(with tubes) player which I use in conjunction with MSB III half Nelson DAC and Monarchy DIP. Given, the uncertainty with SACD and the low number of titles, I thought the purchase of the Rotel 991AE might inprove my system for the next few years.
I know the 991AE is being discontinued, but it is a great sounding unit (in my budget range). I just am not sure that the improvement will be that significant over my Dynaco unit if I am continuing to use the MSB DAC and Monarchy unit? Am I wasting my money by buying the Rotel or should I wait for more SACD units and titles? Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.
