Our take on the Rotel RCD-1572 MKII CD Player

The Rotel RCD-1572 MKII is a full-size, stationary CD player built around a front-loading tray and a balanced XLR output stage, which is rare at this level. It plays CD and CD-RW discs and reads MP3 files from data discs or a USB drive, and it adds coaxial digital out alongside RCA and XLR analog outputs. It suits listeners with a serious two-channel system who want a dedicated transport and DAC in one box, and it competes with players like the Marantz CD6007 and Audiolab 6000CDT by offering balanced outputs and USB playback those rivals lack. Reviewers generally rate its build and sound highly; the main trade-offs are no optical input, no headphone jack and a plain display.
