Rotel - RCD-855 'High-performance' CD player

Rotel RCD-855 – Vintage CD player with Philips TDA1541A DAC – Excellent condition.

A classic hi-fi player from the golden era of CD technology, equipped with the renowned Philips TDA1541A 16-bit D/A converter.

This player is of interest to vintage hi-fi enthusiasts and fans of classic CD playback, thanks to the use of the well-known Philips TDA1541A DAC.

I personally purchased this CD player new in the Netherlands from an authorized Rotel dealer in Sluis. I am therefore the first owner.

The player has been carefully stored after purchasing a different stereo system and has recently been tested. It works fully as intended and is in excellent condition.
