Yes, definetly take it in and listen to it next to the units you may purchase. That's what I did when I purchased my RCD-1072 back in 2006. I brought in an older NAD player and I could clearly hear the difference in detail particularly in the high frequencies. I'm also thinking of upgrading. Please let us know which way you go.
Upgrading from my Rotel RCD-1072
I am contemplating upgrading my current CDP - a Rotel RCD-1072. This CDP has been a very good CDP for the $$ spent but I am in the upgrade mood. I am considering a Rega Saturn (if I can still get the trade up program) or the Bryston BCD-1. I have listened to both at my dealer and they both sounded similar. Looking for some reqal world users comments or suggestions please. Thanks so much; God Bless our troops and those working in the coal mines.
