RDD-1580

Digital-to-Analog Converter

Rotel’s new digital-to-analogue converter envelops the listener in the most accurate audio reproduction possible from any digital source, whether it be legacy PCM sources

or the latest in digital le formats.

The RDD-1580 provides a level of performance unheard

of at it’s price level and is specically designed to cater for the growing popularity of high denition digital audio.

At its heart, the RDD-1580 makes use of Wolfson’s extraordinary WM8740 stereo digital-to-analogue converter. But where competitive products use only one of these converters to handle two channels, the RDD-1580 uses

two WM8740s in a complementary conguration which

reduces noise and distortion well beyond that a single converter can provide.

Another RDD-1580 advantage lies in its input exibility. A front panel USB input supports Apple iPod and iPad

as well as streaming via Bluetooth with the

, iPhone®

included adapter. The rear panel PC-USB input supports

les up to 24 bit/192kHz in asynchronous mode.

Two sets of rear panel RCA-style coaxial and TOSlink optical digital inputs are optimized for LPCM data streams. This includes CDs 16-bit/44.1 kHz standard to high

denition sources with 24-bit/192 kHz audio data.

A Rotel-designed and manufactured toroidal transformer sits at the foundation of the RDD-1580’s well-regulated power supply. Advanced custom-designed slit-foil capacitors provide electrical storage capabilities to ensure substantial and stable operating voltages and current to feed the critical circuit stages.

The carefully tuned analogue section is another example of Rotel’s award-winning Balanced Design

approach where specications alone do not dictate

which electronic parts are selected. Rather, extensive listening tests are carried out under controlled conditions to determine the best way forward. During this time the entire circuit is carefully tuned to provide sonically accurate signal reproduction.

The RDD-1580 provides both single-ended and balanced outputs with RCA and XLR connectors respectively Recognizing today’s changing tastes in audio sources, the RDD-1580 even provides high-current charging capability (2.1 amperes) for an iPad

or similar device to reduce clutter and increase needed desk space while expanding your audio source options.

Built for stunning sound quality but designed for today’s

ever-increasing digital world, the RDD-1580 offers a rst

rate combination of superior sonics and convenience.
