Rotel RDG-1520 $999.00

The RDG-1520 certainly opens the gate wide for all that streaming media can offer, plus it
includes an FM radio and offers a USB input for direct digital connection of an iPod or other USB class 2 devices, bypassing the inexpensive analog output stage in favor of our Wolfson DAC and high-end analog stage.
The tuner includes terrestrial FM and Internet radio, so your listening options are virtually limitless!
There are presently over 15,000 Internet radio stations listed.
You can connect a lap top directly to the RDG-1520 if this is your preference. Or you can stream from
your PC using Windows Media Player 11 over a wireless or wired Ethernet connection. A USB to WiFi Ethernet dongle is included.
Supported codecs include RealAudio(R), WMA, MP3, AAC & AAC+ (non DRM), AU, WAV and AIFF.
The RDG-1520 can be controlled via bi-directional RS-232, as well as discrete IR. Custom integrators will appreciate that the chassis is a standard 2U size and it works with Rotel’s RFK rack kits for an easy, clean installation.
You might think the RDG-1520 would be a multi-thousand dollar component, given all that it does and the high-performance design.
The few similar units on the market are indeed very expensive. But the RDG-1520 offers the value proposition the Rotel is known for around the globe.
