Why you will love it
Class AB power from a toroidal transformer
Rotel says the A14MKII delivers 80 watts per channel into 8 ohm speakers, powered by its in-house manufactured, oversized toroidal transformer and an array of 4 high efficiency slit-foil bulk storage capacitors.
Rotel lists 150 watts per channel maximum into 4 ohms (Non FTC) and 92 watts per channel into 8 ohms on the FTC rating. Total harmonic distortion is listed as below 0.018%.


Redesigned DAC with MQA support
Rotel says the digital circuit has been redesigned around a Texas Instruments 32-bit/384kHz DAC, with all critical components tuned and hand selected.
PC-USB supports USB Audio Class 1.0 and Class 2.0. Rotel lists MQA and MQA Studio up to 24-bit/384kHz. Class 2.0 needs the Windows driver on the supplied USB stick. Macs do not need a driver. The A14MKII is certified Roon Tested.
Turntable, digital and wireless sources
The A14MKII has a Moving Magnet phono input, analogue line inputs, coaxial and optical digital inputs, PC-USB and Bluetooth. Rotel lists aptX and AAC Bluetooth.
Per the owner's manual, the front USB input connects to an iPhone, iPad or iPod for playback, and the device stays active for search and play.


Tone controls, speaker outputs and control
Bass and treble adjust in 1 dB steps up to +/-10 dB, with a bypass mode to remove the tone circuits. Per the manual, tone controls are bypassed by default.
Dual 5-way binding posts support A-B speaker selection, which Rotel says allows Zone 2 installations. The front panel display shows a large volume indication and audio stream information. Ethernet, RS232, 12V trigger and IR remote connections are listed for control systems.
Is it right for you?
A great fit if you…
- Want a compact stereo amplifier for bookshelf or floorstanding speakers

- Want to stream from a phone or computer by Bluetooth or USB
- Want a built-in DAC and digital inputs for a CD transport or TV
Worth knowing
- It is a stereo amplifier for music sources, with no HDMI or built-in network streaming
- Phono input is Moving Magnet only
- USB Audio Class 2.0 playback (up to 384kHz) needs the Windows driver
- Per the manual, plugging in headphones does not mute the speakers, so use the A-B selector to turn them off
