Gurnstar Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Item: ROTEL RCD855 CD PLAYER Location: ADELAIDE Price: 220 Negotiable Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: Surplus Payment Method: EFT, Cash, Paypal, COD + Shipping at buyers cost Extra Info: Great sounding Rotel RCD-855 CD Player using famous Phillips TDA1941A Dac + SAA7210P decoder Open, detailed highs + deeper richer bass and great dynamics like in much more expensive, higher end players. Output: Rca Analog and Digital Coax In excellent condition , no skipping or dithering. All functions working. Very fast CD loading mechanism and fast play. NB : No remote. Only known issue : Tray opens & shuts quickly, but placing finger when open stops the tray from immediately shutting for Cd loading ( see pics ) . This is a common issue with these players and can be rectified easily by removing rubber o-ring stops inside the tray . Will pack securely with bubble wrap in box, for shipping at buyers cost. High quality build, heavy with excellent power supply. See review : https://www.head-fi.org/threads/proud-new-rotel-rcd-855-owner.163783/ Stereophile : "By now, it's no secret that one of audio's biggest values has been the hugely popular Rotel RCD-855 CD player; for only $400, it offered sound quality on a par with far more expensive gear, and provided countless tentative audiophiles with the perfect interim CD player during a period of almost daily digital breakthroughs. I don't know about you, but it seems to me like Bob Harley (in whose beard we trust) has been heralding a newest bestest digital processor in every issue of Stereophile for the past couple of years now! I'm not blaming my homeslice RH, though; the Mark Levinsons, Audio Researches, Thetas, Staxes, Wadias, and VTLs have been battling it out for the title of Supreme Digital Leader with more stubborn inbred fury than a hundred Hatfields and McCoys, churning out ever-better gear almost faster than the chipmakers can cut their dies. So when Lewis Lipnick called the $400 Rotel 855 "the steal of the century" in Vol.13 No.7, a loud chorus of HUZZAHS! arose from the foxholes; finally, there was a cheap CD player that could hold its own with the big boys. Pow-er To The Pee-pull! The Rotel was the right player at the right time; basically a standard Philips 16-bit machine with better parts and a beefier power supply, the 855 found a home in thousands of happy systems the world over.
