About the RC-1570

The Rotel RC-1570 stereo preamplifier, produced between 2013 and 2016, combines classic analog circuitry with advanced digital processing. It supports multiple analog inputs including a moving magnet phono stage, and digital inputs such as two coaxial, two optical, and a rear PC-USB input capable of handling up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution. The unit uses a premium Wolfson DAC for high-quality digital audio conversion. It features balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs and outputs, two 12-volt triggers for controlling other components, and a remote control. The RC-1570 is designed with high-quality components like metal film resistors and polypropylene capacitors, and a large toroidal transformer for stable power delivery. Its frequency response ranges from 4Hz to 100kHz with very low total harmonic distortion (0.004%). The preamplifier weighs 7 kg and measures 431 x 99 x 320 mm. It is praised for its warm, detailed sound and flexibility in handling both legacy analog and modern digital sources, making it a versatile control center for high-fidelity audio systems.
