Why you will love it

Class AB power from a toroidal transformer

Rotel says the RA-1572MKII delivers 120 watts of Class AB output into 8 ohms. It describes the toroidal transformer's shape as helping prevent stray radiation patterns from corrupting audio signals in adjacent circuits.

Rotel lists 200 watts per channel maximum into 4 ohms (Non FTC) and 135 watts per channel into 4 ohms on the FTC rating. Total harmonic distortion is listed as below 0.018%.

Balanced, analogue, phono and digital inputs

Rotel lists analogue, digital, PC-USB with MQA, aptX and AAC Bluetooth, XLR balanced and Moving Magnet phono inputs.

Per the owner's manual, the CD, Tuner and Aux inputs are RCA line inputs, and the digital inputs are labelled 1 and 2 for coaxial and optical. It decodes PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz. The front USB input connects to an iPhone, iPad or iPod.

32-bit DAC and PC-USB

The DAC is a Texas Instruments 32-bit/384kHz converter with critically tuned output filter circuits.

PC-USB supports USB Audio Class 1.0 and Class 2.0, with MQA and MQA Studio listed up to 24-bit/384kHz. Per the manual, Windows needs no driver for Class 1.0 up to 96kHz. Class 2.0 up to 384kHz needs the Windows driver on the supplied USB stick. Macs do not need a driver. The RA-1572MKII is certified Roon Tested.

The front panel has a status display, source and volume controls, Speaker A-B selection for Zone 2 and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Per the owner's manual, there are two mono subwoofer outputs and a pre-out.

Ethernet and RS232 connections are listed for control systems and software updates. Per the manual, tone controls are bypassed by default and can be switched on from the menu.

Is it right for you?

A great fit if you…

Want a stereo amplifier with balanced XLR inputs as well as RCA
Have a turntable with a Moving Magnet cartridge
Want to stream from a phone or computer by Bluetooth or USB

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
