The A14MKII is the flagship model of Rotel's 14 series of 80 watt, AV class amplification for 8 ohm speakers powered by Rotel's own oversized toroidal transformer and a block of 4 foil capacitors with high volume storage that allow for effortless sound quality.
A completely redesigned digital-to-analog circuit topology using a 32-bit/384kHz DAC from Texas Instruments with very precise adjustment and manual tuning of all critical components provides a fuller, richer and more balanced music sound. Improved power supply and amplifier gain scaling give you a cleaner sound so you can listen to large jazz orchestras and solo vocalists alike.
Tone control lets you adjust treble and bass in 1dB increments up to +/- 10dB and makes your experience unique: with any musical genre, mood and setting - BYPASS mode will eliminate unwanted noise and distortion.
The A14MKII supports your favorite sources: analog, digital, PC-USB with MQA, high quality wireless aptX™ and AAC Bluetooth with streaming, and even a phono stage for a moving magnet cartridge head for vinyl lovers.
The A14MKII is a certified "Roon Tested" device, providing the best Roon software experience that you can simply enjoy your music with.
Control system integration is available through the use of Ethernet, RS232, 12V trigger signal and remote connection via IR port.
Dual 5-way speaker connection clamps for dual zone placement with relay switching of speaker leads A-B. Front panel graphic display with plenty of indication and audio streaming information.
The A14MKII provides comfortable use in any environment and hours of audio enjoyment.
I received everything that I planned.
I did not find.
Changed the domestic technique of the last century to the modern one. Naturally, there are only positive emotions, with all due respect to vintage. While I do not use all the functionality, only the Relop 5 vinyl player, also purchased on the remote control, so later I will complement my omniprets .....

Some advantages
Not
I took the Project Carbon Evo specifically under the player. Acoustics initial Heco VP 702. unexpectedly justified my choice. Pro-ject Phono Box (DC) phono-corrector is not much better than built-in. I'm completely satisfied. I recommend!!!

The Rotel A14 MKII with not cheap ELAC equipment applied. The scale of the sound of this non-large box on the indicator of the multi-million Hi-end system. The size of the room is 10 square meters - in front of you is a singer, you can get close to the backstage. A very excellent dynamics, control is not even easy acoustics. Very powerful. The sound itself is not badly detailed - yes, something unthinkable happens in front of you.
