FIRST LOOK! Rotel RAS-5000 Amplified Streamer Overview/Review

[@michaelglenn2399]

Not often with even the best gear do you see an quality and well-designed remote, but that is one of the little details that caught my eye. Looks like a great addition overall to the Rotel family!

[@AudioAdvice]

Couldn't agree more!

[@greggorychopper]

Heard this in NYC at the House of Sound and what an impressive piece of kit for $3k!

[@AudioAdvice]

Awesome! We totally agree!

[@toorop111]

What speakers if you can remember? Sincerely

[@greggorychopper]

@@toorop111 Sonetto II G2 if I recall

[@elmenomaronido6653]

And he is a beauty ! Love the silver finish.

[@AudioAdvice]

For sure! Thanks for watching!

[@sethfm9773]

This looks like a great all-in-one solution.

[@AudioAdvice]

Sure is! Thanks for watching!

[@HansKoolen-j3k]

I like the "play" decoration by the plant you have in the corner :-), can I buy that somewhere ?

[@AudioAdvice]

Haha. Thanks. That was purchased a while back by an employee who is no longer here. We think it came from a home decor store.

[@tessie4204]

The best sounding allinone device!

[@AudioAdvice]

It's great!

[@Zhorellski]

If they include an SSD compartment to play media ( flac, wav, mp3 files) it would have been perfect

[@AudioAdvice]

That would have been great!

[@Battlenude]

Can you connect a phono to it..?

[@Umarluch]

@@Battlenudevia AUX and with Phono-preamp :/

[@taylorrasmus1905]

Love this!

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for watching!

[@JohnLim-n7f]

Love Rotel!

[@AudioAdvice]

Us too!

[@tophatjohnny]

No XLR connections??

[@AudioAdvice]

Unfortunately no.

[@toorop111]

What speakers did you hook the Rotel with?

[@AudioAdvice]

There are many options! Call or chat with audioadvice.com to have our experts help you choose what is best!

[@SirMountainpass]

Is the sound quality closer to the 1592 Mk2 or the RA6000?

[@AudioAdvice]

Great question! Chat or call our experts at audioadvice.com and they can help make a suggestion and compare them for you!

[@AudioElectronicsChicago]

Quality amp for sure, they have silver CD players that will match this one perfectly

[@AudioAdvice]

For sure!

[@charlesking678]

Is this an basically an updated 1592 with a streamer and hdmi added? If so that's great.

[@AudioAdvice]

Similar. If you need help deciding which one would be better for you, call or chat with our team at audioadvice.com!

[@donmisko4037]

Can you add a phono and cd player to this? How

[@AudioAdvice]

It has one AUX line level in where you could connect a phono preamp into. Your CD player would use its digital out to go into either the Coax or Toslink input. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com for more details.

[@gpapa31]

Wonder how it pairs with B&W 805D4s

[@AudioAdvice]

That should be a pretty good combo. Thanks forw atching

[@pistopitpit]

Hi. Is it possible to disable or at least dim power button and volume knob blue lights in front of this amplifier?

[@AudioAdvice]

There are dim settings but there is not an off, hope this helps

[@pistopitpit]

@@AudioAdvice thanks yes it does help. I will have this amp under my tv so hopefully the amplifier screen will not get in a way when dimmed.

[@martybrazill7935]

Looks like a very beefy amp section. Perfect for tougher to drive speakers.

[@AudioAdvice]

Sure is! Thanks for watching!

[@hayabusa1300100]

Looks good but $3000 I better be able to voice command besides having a remote

[@AudioAdvice]

Voice control is not really present on any good HiFi gear. Thanks for watching

[@rmeyer52]

No phono input. Bummer.

[@AudioAdvice]

A bit of one yes, although for someone purchasing a unit at this level of performance, most people would have a separate phono preamp anyway. Thanks for watching

[@Battlenude]

@@AudioAdvice So what would i need to do this preamp, in order to get my phono on it?

[@AudioAdvice]

@@Battlenude Just an external phono preamp, we have a lot to choose from and feel free to reach out to our team to discuss the best one for your turntable www.audioadvice.com/turntables/phono-preamps?product_list_order=price&product_list_dir=asc

*❌✅ $3,000 for 220wpc at 4ohm so that’s ruffle 110wpc at 8ohm weak in today’s time for ($3k) just saying ☝️🧐‼️*

Fair enough

[@gpapa31]

What alternative amp (all in one) streamer would you recommend instead at this budget range?

[@eurekaakerue4649]

@@gpapa31 👋😎❌ off the top of my head [PS sound stellar strata , Prachtree audio , Technics SU series , HIFi Rose etc.. maybe I was too harsh but there are, alternatives 👍
