Rotel CD11 Tribute CD Player

The Rotel CD11 Tribute CD player is a meticulously crafted audio device, developed with direct input from the renowned audio engineer Ken Ishiwata. Drawing on his vast experience, Ishiwata collaborated closely with Rotel to elevate the original CD11’s performance. By carefully selecting acoustically-tuned components, this Tribute edition delivers enhanced clarity, spatial precision, and an authentic listening experience. Perfectly engineered to play the over 200 million CDs sold worldwide, the CD11 Tribute not only continues Rotel’s legacy of producing outstanding audio but also pays homage to Ishiwata’s lifelong dedication to high-fidelity sound.

Significant improvements to the power supply, DAC circuitry, and component selection in the CD11 Tribute create a soundscape rich in detail and depth. Adjustments to the DAC stage include eight capacitor replacements and a resistor upgrade, while the power supply sees nine capacitors swapped out for enhanced performance. Thoughtful enhancements such as custom damping material on the top cover reduce internal vibrations, ensuring minimal resonance and interference. The CD11 Tribute is equipped with RCA analogue and coaxial digital outputs, a front-panel display, and comes with a remote control, embodying both innovation and tradition in high-quality audio playback.

The CD11 Tribute embodies Rotel’s commitment to exceptional audio engineering, blending classic CD playback with modern refinement for true music enthusiasts.
