Topping its radical RSP-1098 AV processor [AVTech, Nov '03] was always going to be a tough act for Rotel so, by way of commercial good sense, it has decided not to bother trying. Instead, many of the lessons learned in its development have been trickled-down to the replacement for its baby brother, the RSP-1066. This is the £995 RSP-1068, a model that clearly takes its cues from the older RSP-1066 but that beats to the tune of latest Crystal CS494003 Dolby/DTS decoder debued on the RSP-1098. This single-chip solution supports all the standard 7.1 channel formats, including Dolby EX and DTS ES, but brings added compatability with other standards like DTS 24/96.
