Rotel RC-1590 Stereo Preamplifier
Rotel RC-1590 Stereo Preamplifier is a value addition for the music enthusiasts. Ooberpad brings to you the dynamic Rotel RC-1590 Stereo Preamplifier. It exemplifies total control. The RC-1590 stereo preamplifier has been precision-engineered to the highest audio performance levels and packs a punch with an epic level of control and flexibility for the user. Beginning with a high-performance power supply that compromises of two Rotel custom-built toroidal transformers for maximum efficiency and low magnetic fields, these transformers give low-noise isolation between the analog and digital signals. They are part of a reference-grade power supply consisting of individual analog and digital regulator circuits with custom-made slit-foil capacitors. Slit-foil capacitors have blazing fast charge/discharge times and low signal loss ensuring tight bass performance.

Benefits of Rotel RC-1590 Stereo Preamplifier:
Functionally Sophisticated with Precision-Engineering

Rotel engineers wanted to create a reference quality stereo preamplifier to match with the new RB-1590 stereo power amplifier. Every aspect of component selection and circuit topography was precision-designed and meticulosuly evaluated during multiple listening sessions to ensure the highest fidelity. For instance, analog and digital circuits were designed separately, by specialized Rotel teams. Analog inputs are all very low noise circuitry and include a high performance moving magnet phono stage. Digital inputs are fully isolated and feature an accurate 32-bit 768kHz Digital to Analog Converter (DAC).
Fully Feature Laden

The dynamic RC-1590 is fully feature-laden with Balanced XLR and Unbalanced RCA inputs and outputs, a TI precision volume control IC, a fixed volume line output, dual mono subwoofer outputs, digital outputs (Coax and Optical), digital inputs (3 Coax and 3 Optical), Aux, CD, and Tuner analog inputs, internal aptX Bluetooth (supports aptX and standard Bluetooth) with rear-mounted external antenna, a front USB iPod with 2.1A charging input, and rear panel PC-USB 24-bit 192kHz input supporting DSD (Windows) and DoP (MAC computers DSD over PCM).
Other significant features include remote control, 2 x 12-volt trigger outputs, a dimmable display, an automatic power-off function (configurable), RS232 and IP control for automation system integration, internet-based software updates, Rotel Link connection, a detachable IEC power cord, an external IR remote input, and a front-mounted 3.5mm headphone output jack.
For audiophiles who won’t settle for any compromises, the RC-1590 preamplifier is a class-leading product, at a cost-effective price that belies its stellar performance.
