Our thoughts

One chassis that takes CD, computer audio and digital streams, then hands the signal to the amplifier through fully balanced outputs. It suits listeners whose music lives across discs and files and who want a single digital front end.

The converter is an ESS Sabre running eight channels, four dedicated to each side of the stereo output, with fully differential circuits. Dedicated power supplies feed the critical stages, with the aim of isolating the analogue section from the digital side. The balanced XLR outputs, at 4.3V, suit amplifiers with balanced inputs. The spring-floating CD mechanism uses damping materials to reduce mechanical noise.

Best suited to owners with a mixed library who run Roon, play MQA or DSD files from a computer, or want CD and digital sources under one roof. Talk it through with us by phone or in the showroom, especially how the balanced outputs fit your amplifier and sources.

The DT-6000 supports Coaxial, Optical and PC-USB inputs as well as an integrated CD Player for the ultimate flexibility playing your favourite sources rendering digital audio with dynamic precision and authentic accuracy. The DT-6000’s critical Digital to Analogue circuits utilises an ESS Sabre 8-Channel ES9028PRO DAC dedicating 4 channels each to the Left and Right stereo outputs. The DACs multi-channel processing delivers unprecedented details with an ultra-low noise floor through fully differential circuits resulting in an immersive, expansive sound stage.

Rotel DT-6000 DAC Transport key features

  • ESS premium 32-bit 8-Channel Digital to Analogue Converter
  • Fully balanced differential XLR outputs
  • Smooth tray loading CD mechanism
  • Supports MQA and MQA Studio
  • Certified Roon Tested
  • Optical SPDIF
  • RCA
  • Remote control included
  • Robust Rotel toroidal transformer

Dedicated power supplies feed all critical circuits driven by an in-house manufactured low-emission shielded toroidal transformer with high efficiency, low ESR slit-foil smoothing capacitors delivering ripple free current. Physical circuit board isolation techniques and electronic decoupling design methods result in lower residual noise and reduced distortion in the sensitive analogue stages including the external DAC output filters.

The Coaxial and Optical inputs support PCM audio up to 24-bit/192kHz with the asynchronous PC-USB input rendering up to 32-bit/384kHz high resolution music files. The PC-USB also supports MQA and DSD 4X and is certified Roon Tested for the highest compatibility with Roon software.

The smooth action tray loading CD player utilises Rotel’s formidable 30 years of experience engineering and manufacturing award winning disc spinners. The industrial design includes a spring-floating CD mechanism with damping materials to reduce mechanical noise and vibrations during playback. Precision motor controls and the optical laser pick-up extract every nuance and detail from CD collections both large and small.

Front panel controls and a back-lit IR remote provide intuitive operation of the unit with playback status, music file stream details and CD metadata shown on the two-line display.

The RS232, 12V trigger and external remote input ensure simplified integration with all popular control systems. The DT-6000 is available in black and silver.
