Rotel CD11 Tribute CD Player
Prepare for an enticing journey through sound with the Rotel CD11 Tribute, where the legacy of an audio legend and the innovative prowess of a renowned brand blend seamlessly. The Rotel CD11 Tribute CD player was brought to life with the hands-on insights of audio icon Ken Ishiwata - a collaboration that resulted in a CD player bursting with sonic excellence. This isn't just a CD player; it’s a tribute to over 30 years of the CD players’ evolution, designed to maximize the latent beauty of the 200+ million CDs sold worldwide. Each element of the CD11 Tribute has been meticulously crafted for immaculate performance and precise audio clarity. Its heart beats with a tray-loading CD mechanism and the genius of a Texas Instruments 24-bit 192kHz DAC; its veins pulsate with RCA analogue and Coaxial digital outputs. Every line, every curve, every feature, reflects a proud lineage tracing back to Rotel's first CD player - the RCD-855 launched in 1989, and carries forward the timeless musical vision Ken Ishiwata. The CD11 Tribute isn't just built with acoustically tuned components; it is attuned to the rhythms of your soul. Every capacitor and resistor in the DAC stage and power supply have been carefully changed for heightened accuracy, detail, and authenticity, creating an auditory experience that echoes with intensity long after the last note has played. Each note that flows through this CD player transports you deeper into the music, capturing the feeling of a live performance in the confines of your home. From its front panel display and IR remote, to its vibration-damping material and superior mechanical and electrical grounding, the CD11 Tribute is more than just a CD player - it's a tribute to the tireless work and dedication of both Rotel and Ken Ishiwata to push beyond the ordinary, and deliver products known for performing well beyond their price point.
