We are proud to announce that Rotel's new Diamond Series has won the prestigious award for BEST STEREO SYSTEM FOR 2022 by the Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA).
The EISA Awards honor new products that combine the most advanced technology and desirable design features with class-leading performance. The new RA-6000 Integrated Amplifier and DT-6000 DAC Transport celebrate Rotel's “Diamond” anniversary, honoring over 60-years of unwavering commitment to quality and passion for audio performance as a family owned and operated company.
“The Diamond Series not only honors and pays tribute to the Rotel brand established in Tokyo Japan in 1961 by my great-uncle, but also honors the heritage of my family”, said Peter Kao, Managing Director of Rotel. “It is my true honor to lead Rotel into the future and introduce these exceptional new models, celebrating this milestone and accomplishment for our company with the recognition from the EISA review board."
The official EISA Award citation is below:
"Showcasing Rotel at its best, and launched to celebrate the Japanese brand’s sixtieth anniversary, the Diamond Series partners an integrated amplifier with CD player/DAC. The first of those, the RA-6000, incorporates technology from Rotel’s high-end Michi models, and offers a thrilling blend of power, authority and clarity. Meanwhile the matching DT-6000 doesn’t just bring refined CD playback – it’s named a DAC Transport for a reason, and features a superior 384kHz/32-bit conversion stage that can be used with other digital sources to great effect. Put together, Rotel’s Diamond Series duo becomes an insightful, dynamic music system that will excite and delight."
