Rotel DX-5: Compact Class A/B Amp with ESS Sabre DAC, USB Hi-Res Audio & HDMI ARC Support

The Rotel DX-5 integrated stereo amplifier is a compact but powerful amplifier operating in class A/B and delivering 33 watts when operating on a load with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms (or 25 watts at 8 ohms). The new product is equipped with a power supply unit based on a powerful toroidal transformer of our own production and high-current transistors.

Connect via USB-B (32-bit/384kHz PCM, DSD 4x), coaxial/optical (24-bit/192kHz), Bluetooth aptXT HD/AAC, or the RCA analog inputs. Roon Tested certification enhances high-resolution music playback, while precision volume control (0.5dB steps, 680mV sensitivity) lets you perfect every note.

The built-in DAC based on the audiophile Sabre ES9039Q2M chip from ESS Technology provides ultra-low noise (100 dB signal-to-noise ratio) and a wide sound stage (10 Hz – 100 kHz, ±0.19 dB). Versatility is ensured by support for HDMI ARC for playing audio from TVs, an output to an active subwoofer for 2.1-channel systems and a headphone jack for personal listening.

With compact dimensions (215 x 76 x 251 mm) and a weight of 4.1 kg, the Rotel DX-5 integrated amplifier features a full-color TFT display and aluminum remote control, combining elegance and intuitiveness. The new product is offered in a black or silver design.
