Anonymous | After almost ten happy years with our SONY 1000ESD Digital Preamp, it has come time to trade it in for a pre-amp which can handle the newer surround formats. I have narrowed it down to the Rotel RSP-1066 or RSP-1098 preamp. Has anyone had any experience with the new RSP-1098? Any information will be greatly appreciated. |

Anonymous | I just got the 1098 and it is an excellent choice. It has one feature called "group delay" which many prepros lack and many home theter entusists are just beginning to appreciate. Commonly called "lyp synch" it allows audio delay when video is processed or HD. I found this feature only on Tag McClaren and Lexicon and they cost 3 times the 1098. Also the 1098 gives you up to 500ms delay whereas max with other units is 250ms. Trust me, this is an emerging feature you may need. I have also been impressed with the 5.1 separation and bass control with the 1098. Initial reviews look strone. AJF |

Anonymous | I broke down and bought the 1098 myself and am extremely happy with it so far. The design and features are uncommonly well thought out. For example, every AV receiver/processor nowadays has video switching capabilities, but since few people use these to record from multiple sources and nearly every TV/monitor has multiple inputs allowing a better-quality direct connection, this feature is a huge waste of circuitry for most users. The 1098, however, has the very unusual ability to "upconvert" composite and s-video sources to send these signals through the component monitor output. Now I suddenly have a use for those video jacks! I can leave the TV set to a single (component) input, and get a great picture from composite (i.e. cable box), s-video (i.e. VCR), and component (i.e. DVD & HDTV) sources through the 1098. Brilliant. Oh yeah, it sounds fantastic too! Of course, it costs twice what the 1066 does. . . . |

Unregistered guest | I was looking for "something" to connect my tv, dvd, xbox to my new amplified home teather. My dvd and my xbox have coaxial and optical outputs each, and my home teather have 6 independant inputs for a 5.1 system (Front (L&R), Surround (L&R), Center and Subwoofer), So I need something in the middle (convert optical or coaxial to a 5.1ch). All the receivers in the market are so expensives. I Just saw in a pawnbrokers store a SONY TAE1000ESD for $100US.. It looks like it's the perfect device to connect all my stuff.. It's good enough to buy it? it supports all the actual technology? somebody can recommend me to buy this or should I invest my money in a brand new expensive receiver? |
