INSPIRATION FROM ROTEL MICHI SERIES

The Diamond Series includes the DT-6000 DAC Transport and RA-6000 Integrated Amplifier each sharing a new industrial design language emphasizing modern engineered, contemporary styling that both compliments Rotel’s current offerings while paying tribute to the brand’s heritage through generations of legacy models. As befitting of a special celebration both Diamond Series products feature a combination of Michi inspired circuit design working in combination with bespoke and custom components.

ROTEL DT-6000 DAC TRANSPORT

The unit includes a PC-USB input supporting MQA and DSD audio playback and renders PCM 32-bit/384kHz music files through the coaxial and optical inputs supporting music streamers and media players and includes a tray-loading CD Mechanism.
