Features & Specs
Texas Instruments premium 32-bit/384kHz DAC for detailed, accurate playback
A high-quality TI DAC combined with Rotel’s balanced design approach preserves nuance, improves low-level detail, and supports a natural, fatigue-free presentation.
Fully balanced differential XLR outputs plus RCA analog outputs
Choose balanced XLR for maximum noise rejection and system synergy with balanced components, or RCA for traditional analog systems—both are engineered for clean, stable output.
Coaxial digital output for external DACs and digital processors
Use the RCD-1572MKII as a dedicated transport by routing the coaxial digital output to an outboard DAC, allowing easy system upgrades without replacing the player.
Ultra-low-noise toroidal transformer and electrically isolated circuitry
Rotel’s in-house transformer and circuit isolation reduce interference and distortion, helping your system reveal a quieter background and more precise imaging.
Custom-install friendly: 12V trigger input, RS232 control, external IR input
Designed to work seamlessly in automation environments, it supports trigger-based power control, RS232 command integration, and hard-wired IR when the front sensor is blocked.
Smooth tray-loading transport with included remote control
Everyday usability stays front and center with a smooth-loading tray mechanism, clear front display, and a remote that keeps operation simple from across the room.

Rotel RCD-1572MKII
The Rotel RCD-1572MKII is a reference-grade CD player built for listeners who want the musicality of a classic disc spinner with the refinement of modern, low-noise engineering. At its core is a premium Texas Instruments 32-bit/384kHz DAC, paired with Rotel’s balanced circuit design to deliver clean transients, natural tonality, and an impressively quiet background that helps detail and soundstage depth emerge effortlessly.
Rotel’s in-house manufactured toroidal transformer and carefully isolated circuit layout help reduce interference and distortion, keeping playback smooth and composed even in revealing systems. For system matching and upgrade flexibility, the RCD-1572MKII offers fully balanced XLR and RCA analog outputs, plus a coaxial digital output if you prefer an external DAC.
Integration is equally thoughtful: a 12V trigger input enables automated power control, RS232 supports custom installs, and an external IR input helps when the player is placed in a cabinet. Add a smooth tray-loading mechanism, clear front-panel display, and included remote, and you have a CD player designed to make your collection sound consistently engaging, track after track.
