About the CD11 Tribute
The Rotel CD11 Tribute is a premium single-disc CD player developed in collaboration with the late audio legend Ken Ishiwata. It plays standard CDs and CD-R/RW discs, featuring a Texas Instruments 24-bit/192kHz DAC (PCM5102A in some references), custom-tuned low-pass filters, and upgraded internal components for enhanced clarity, resolution, and a wide soundstage. Key features include smooth tray loading, 20-track programming, random play, direct track access, auto power-off (30/60/90 minutes), and software updates addressing playback stopping issues (latest V1.09 as of Dec 2024). Connections: analog RCA outputs, coaxial digital output (for use as transport), RS-232 for control systems, 12V trigger input, Rotel Link (3.5mm). No headphone output, networking, or USB inputs. It pairs well with Rotel amplifiers like A11 Tribute. Note: Superseded by CD11 MKII model.
