Rotel has revealed its latest integrated stereo amplifier, the DX-5. Like its recently announced compact Rotel DX-3 headphone amp, the new DX-5 is conceived as the ideal performer for users with small spaces who still seek premium levels of sonic performance. The new unit employs Class AB amplification and promises powerful sound in an "elegant, space-efficient chassis".
The DX-5 delivers 33 watts per channel into 4 ohms, with Rotel teasing "exceptional sound quality and an immersive listening experience" from the compact unit. Powered by a factory-wound toroidal transformer driving a set of high-current output transistors, the DX-5 strives for unerring midrange precision alongside "pristine highs" and a "rich, deep" bass signature.
