Rotel RCD-990 CD Player and DAC
Classic CD player delivers warm, musical presentation with standalone, dual differential DACs capability featuring a Burr Brown chipset.
I own Bliss Hifi, a high-end audio boutique and this Rotel RCD-990 CD Player is being listed as a trade in from one of my clients. It is in very good condition for its age and perfect working order.
It comes with an unused remote, which still has the plastic protector on its face, and will ship in its original box.
More about the Unit
The Rotel RCD-990 exemplifies the thoughtful engineering approach that defined high-quality CD players in their prime era. Its dual differential digital-to-analog conversion system and robust construction deliver solid, musical performance that many listeners still appreciate today. The well-damped transport mechanism and clean power supply design reflect an era when manufacturers prioritized build quality and sonic integrity over feature counts, resulting in a player that focuses on doing one thing well—reproducing CDs with clarity and musicality.
What makes the RCD-990 particularly versatile is its digital input capability, allowing it to function as a standalone DAC for other digital sources. While modern converters have certainly evolved, the RCD-990’s analog output stage and careful component selection give it a character that some audiophiles prefer for its warmth and natural presentation. For those building a system around classic components or seeking an alternative to the clinical sound of some contemporary digital gear, the RCD-990 offers a well-executed example of late-generation CD player design with enough flexibility to integrate into a variety of setups.
Check my stellar feedback and buy with confidence. This listing includes free insured shipping across the CONUS. As this is a passthrough sale that I am brokering on behalf of my client, I can only accept payments via PayPal F&F, Venmo Gift, or personal check, but this also gives you the opportunity to attain this at my lowest possible price.
Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for your consideration.
