Reviews
Rotel wins EISA award for best Streaming Amplifier
"By embracing modern streaming and usability features but not straying from its manufacturer’s ‘performance-first’ ethos, the RAS-5000 is a desirable addition to Rotel’s range – and the streaming amp market as a whole. A confident driver of loudspeakers courtesy of its rated 2x140W Class AB output, the RAS-5000 tackles all music genres with a sonic signature showcasing a powerful yet smooth, balanced approach. Versatile connectivity also impresses, with digital inputs including HDMI eARC, USB-B and Wi-Fi/Ethernet feeding its high-quality DAC stage. Playback is a breeze, either through Rotel’s own app, a DLNA player, or Roon, and icing the RAS-5000 cake is the amp’s meticulous build and informative colour display" EISA Awards
