For starters you need to tell us what Rotel player you speak of ………………..regardless, for $$ spent and the universal capability of the Oppo, very little if anything tops it……….go for it !

I am using the Oppo 105 along with vinyl too. They just came out with blu ray pure audio hi rez disc 24bitt, 92 to 192 kHz. Short story , they sound amazing. A cd player can't play the, also , the oppo does sacd. I run the oppo in balanced mode. Google blu ray pure audio.

I can't compare the 105 to a Rotel, but I prefer my Sony 5400ES for SACDs over the Oppo--it's a bit more spacious and detailed.

EDIT: I recently hooked up my Oppo via the multi-channel analog outputs...hmmm...I think I prefer it to the Sony's HDMI sound! It's more present, warmer, and richer sounding. Now I see/hear why it's $700 more than the 103!
