When choosing preamplifiers for your system, sound is always the main priority. The RC-1572 MKII offers an extremely open, natural sound to send to your speaker system, making it the ideal pairing for most systems. No matter what speaker setup you have in your space, this preamplifier will make the very most of it.
Wide-ranging Connectivity
The second key to a good preamplifier is the assurance that it can connect to the equipment you already have, or play back your preferred audio codecs. Rotel have ensured that this is the case with the RC-1572 MKII, providing connections for analog, digital, XLR, and Phono cables, as well as aptX™ and AAC Wireless Bluetooth audio formats. Finally, for more simplified computer-based setups, you can connect to a computer via USB and stream pristine 32-bit audio with a 384 kHz sample rate with MQA support, which makes it easy to stream directly from services like Roon or Tidal.
Precise Design
Rotel have ensured that your signals will arrive at your speakers uncoloured and clear, thanks to their ultra low-noise power supply. Isolated by a transformer and a bank of slit-foil low ESR capacitors, you can be assured that your noise floor is reduced to an absolute minimum. Complete with 32-bit digital-to-analogue conversion courtesy of Texas Instruments further enhancing its sound, the RC-1572 MKII balances quality components with efficient design to deliver great sound at an accessible price.
