The CD14MKII follows Rotel’s proud tradition of delivering award winning CD players for over 30 years including the RCD-855 launched to critical acclaim in 1989 and continuing today supporting the over 200 billion CDs sold in the market. The MKII model includes acoustic and performance upgrades and innovations including enhancements to the power supply, printed circuit board and layout design isolation techniques and new acoustically tuned audio components resulting in a more accurate reproduction of the audio with richer and genuine detail. Critical Digital to Analog conversion in the CD14MKII is managed by a premium Texas Instruments 32-bit DAC with custom tuned external analog output filters. The DAC digital and analog circuits are fed by independent voltage and current power supplies eliminating unwanted distortion and isolating motor controls from sensitive audio circuits further reducing noise and distortion. Output connections support RCA analog and coaxial digital allowing the CD14MKII to be utilized as a transport to an outboard DAC further optimizing flexibility. The smooth action tray loading CD mechanism ensures easy loading of your favorite discs with an intuitive IR remote control, front panel control buttons and a graphic display packaged in an efficiently sized 80mm (3 inches) chassis for seamless operation and the ultimate in convenience. The RS232, 12V trigger and IR remote input provide the ultimate installation flexibility including integration with popular control systems.
