Summary:
The Rotel 1060 for the price is one of the best DVD-A & DVD-V units I have ever heard. Not only does it have fantastic video capabilities, the audio sound on just regular CD's is very detailed. Solid bass, & smooth mids & high's, I would recommend this unit highly to anyone that has a very good ear for sound quality & video quality. The DVD-A sound is stunning, the sound stage is incredible. The seperation of insturments will have you lisening to your DVD-A over & over again. The sound stage on just regular CD's or CD-R's is also well worth the purchase. Its only draw back is that the 24bit/192 DAC does not decode HDCD's or SACD's.

Strengths:
Video capabilities & audio sound stage, seperation is fantastic, DVD-A & regular CD's & CD-R's

Weaknesses:
24bit/192 internal DAC does not decode HDCD's or SACD's (DSD)

Summary:
I upgraded from a Denon DVD player and this is one of my best purchases despite my skepticism on spending this much on a DVD player. A blind comparison took 3 notes to determine the difference. The detail of audio was much more precise. There are parts of some songs that I never knew existed. The video quality is also superior when hooked up to a Sony HD TV.

Strengths:
Precise audio and amazing video.

Weaknesses:
The transport is noisy when close to the player.
