About the RCD-991
The Rotel RCD-991 is Rotel's definitive single-chassis CD player, manufactured from 1998 to 2001. It supports CD and HDCD playback with a precision transport, 20-bit 8x oversampling digital filter, dual-differential 20-bit Burr-Brown DACs (PCM-63), and Pacific Microsonics PMD-100 HDCD chip. Features include user-selectable dither (0-7 levels for optimizing DAC performance), balanced and unbalanced analog outputs, coaxial and optical digital outputs, and excellent error correction with low laser power for faulty discs. Reviewers praise its detailed, neutral, smooth, resolving sound with deep bass, wide soundstage, high dynamics, and low fatigue. It pairs well with quality amps via balanced XLR outputs. Built robustly with metal case, wireless remote (RR-D91), and power consumption of 20W. No longer manufactured, available used.
