A CD player from Rotel's 14 series in Black, with a Wolfson 24-bit/192kHz DAC, analogue RCA and coaxial digital outputs and a 12V trigger input.
Recently traded Rotel CD14 Cd player in black. In good condition, works great. Missing remote control Has original box and packaging so can ship if required, although in store pickup is always preferred. Comes with 3 month warranty
Rotel says the CD14 design begins with a carefully engineered power supply that gives separate, ripple-free voltage and current to the digital and analogue circuits. It keeps the same clean lines and intuitive operation as the other 14 series models, according to Rotel.

Why you will love it
Separate supplies for digital and analogue
Rotel describes a carefully engineered power supply that provides separate, ripple-free voltage and current to both the digital and analogue circuits.
The Digital to Analogue Converter is a Wolfson 24-bit/192kHz part, according to Rotel's specifications.


Analogue and digital outputs
A pair of RCA jacks sends the analogue signal from the built-in converter to an amplifier or preamplifier. A coaxial digital output carries an unprocessed digital stream for an outboard DAC or digital processor.
Rotel lists a 100Ω line-level output impedance and a 0.5V, 75Ω coaxial digital output.
Tray loader and display
The CD14 has a tray-loading mechanism. A back-lit display on the front panel shows the number of tracks and total time when a disc is loaded, then the track number and elapsed time during play.
12V trigger and system control
A 12V trigger input lets the player switch on and off with a trigger signal from another component. Rotel's manual also lists Rotel Link and RS232 connections.
Is it right for you?
A great fit if you…
- Have a CD collection and want a dedicated player
- Want a transport with a coaxial digital output for an external DAC
- Have a Rotel 14 series system or another amplifier with a line input
- Want a 12V trigger input for system switching
Worth knowing
- Rotel rates it at 230V, 50Hz
- Dimensions are 430 × 98 × 312 mm, so check your shelf
- Rotel lists a front panel height of 80mm
Build your system
The CD14 connects to a line-level input on an amplifier or preamplifier.
- Amplifier: Pair it with a Rotel integrated amplifier such as the Rotel A14MKII integrated amplifier or the Rotel A12MKII integrated amplifier, or browse stereo amplifiers.
- Speakers: Add bookshelf speakers or floorstanding speakers.
- Newer model: See the Rotel CD14MKII CD player or browse other CD players.
