One of today’s best combinations of price and performance in an integrated amplifier-DAC.

High performance hardware

At its core is a robust Class AB amplifier delivering 120 watts per channel into 8 ohms, backed by Rotel’s renowned in-house toroidal transformer. This oversized power supply ensures exceptional current delivery, resulting in deep, controlled bass and effortless dynamics—even with demanding speakers.

The Mk II evolution brings significant upgrades to digital performance, featuring a Texas Instruments 32-bit/384kHz DAC. This allows the amplifier to extract remarkable detail and clarity from high-resolution sources, creating a wide, immersive soundstage with natural tonal balance.

Attention and detail

Connectivity is equally comprehensive. The RA-1572 Mk II supports a full suite of inputs including analogue, digital, PC-USB (with MQA decoding), balanced XLR, and a moving magnet phono stage for turntables. Wireless streaming is handled via aptX and AAC Bluetooth, making it easy to integrate modern devices without sacrificing sound quality.

Engineered with meticulous attention to circuit design and component quality, this amplifier minimises noise and distortion (THD <0.018%), preserving the integrity of every recording. The result is a presentation that is detailed yet musical—precise without sounding clinical.

It's a strong choice for anyone who has outgrown Rotel's 14 Series and wants a genuinely high-performance integrated amplifier, sitting just below the flagship RA-1592 MkII for those wanting to go further still.

Reviews

The high-powered Rotel RA-1572MKII offers one of today’s best combinations of price and performance in an integrated amplifier-DAC.

I can't think of any integrated amplifier at this price that can match its all round competence right now. An essential audition then, if you're in the market for a powerful but affordable do-it-all integrated amp.

I can't imagine anyone seeking a high-performance integrated amp would be disappointed.
