- Does the RA-1572 MKII have streaming built in?
- No. It has Bluetooth and a DAC with optical, coaxial and USB inputs, but no network streaming, AirPlay or Chromecast. You add a streamer or use a phone over Bluetooth.
- Can I connect a turntable directly?
- Yes. It has a moving magnet phono stage, so a typical MM turntable plugs straight in without a separate preamp.
- How much power does it deliver?
- Rotel rates it at 120 watts per channel into 8 ohms from a class AB amplifier. It also has a dedicated headphone output on the front.
- Does it support HDMI ARC for a TV?
- No. TV audio goes in through an optical or coaxial digital input, so you rely on the TV's own volume control unless you use the amp's remote.
- Is it worth it over the original RA-1572?
- The MKII keeps the same power and layout with an updated DAC section. If you already own the original, the gain is modest; for a new system it is a solid one-box integrated.
- What is in the box?
- The amplifier, a remote control, a power cord and basic documentation. Speaker cables and source cables are not included.
- Where is the Rotel RA-1572 MKII Stereo Integrated Amplifier cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $2,699.00, as of our latest check.
