A great video by Audio Advice who takes you through Rotel's new RAS-5000 Integrated Streaming Amplifier. They provide an overview of features and connectivity options as well as some great insight into the sound quality and performance of the unit.
"...this RAS-5000 kept its composure fully, letting us really enjoy the music. The song 'Mrs. Postman' had a really great rhythm section and vibe that sounded great on the Rotel. The vocals had clarity and drive, and the bass was punchy and detailed without losing that natural tone."
"The imaging was also solid and the soundstage was as wide as the music would let it be."
"For someone looking for a simple, all-in-one amplifier that handles all of your digital music needs, has legacy RCA input for a frontal preamp or CD player, and is easy to setup and use, the Rotel RAS-5000 hits all the right notes."
