Default Rotel RCD 991 vs. Rotel RCD 1072

Hi there, I need your advice on something.

I have the option of trading in my Rotel RCD-02 for either a new
RCD-1072 or a used RCD 991. Both for about the same price and both
with same warranty and service.

What would you do? Cd player is presently running through a RA-02
Intergrated amp (next to be upgraded) and then onto a pair of B&W
matrix 802's.

The only thing I am really worried about is that the 991 despite all
the rave reviews, stopped production 4 years ago...is it really out of
date???

Please reply via newsgroup...my email has been flakey lately.

Thank you very much in advance!

Only in the sense that it has some mileage on it. Rotels tend to be
built to last, but a new one should last just a little bit longer,
which is why I'd go for the new one. There certainly have been no great
(or even moderately small) advances in Redbook reproduction in the last
5 years, so performance-wise these should be a horse apiece. If you
really believe that one might sound better than the other, you should
listen and compare for yourself. (But compare them without knowing
which is which.)
