I can only talk about the Rotel RCD-1072 but my experience with them has been excellent. I own 2 of these units, as well as the 1055 Changer which I think has the same Burr Brown DAC, and have to say they have stood the test of time quite well. Playback and reproduction are very good and they play anything I throw at them. I recently compared the playback of the 1072 versus my Oppo 103 and thought the Rotel had a slight edge. I bought all of these units used, going back 9 years now. Performance and durability are excellent. If you can buy them from a trusted source at a fair price I think you will be quite happy with a Rotel 1072. Good luck with your search.
