Rotel 991 cd player

can anyone comment on this cd player? If I have USD1000, should I buy a DAC with my existing DVD or CD player? Thanks

The MSB Link DAC III is great for only $400. The RCD-991 is a very nice player for the money. I usually do not find Rotel players to my likeing, but this player is the exception. I have the RCD-990. I've heard the 991. Very similar, the 990 being a little better in the lower base. Either model is one of the best I've heard for classical music at that price point.

By using external DAC, you have flexibility to upgrade your system to catch new technologies by upgrading DAC instead of changing a new CD player. Most of all, usually external DAC sounds better than internal DAC in CD player.
