Improved sound quality
Featuring a brand new DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) and improvements to the amp’s power supply and output filters, the Rotel A14MKII sounds better than ever. The Texas Instruments 32 bit/384kHz DAC delivers powerful, Hi-Res compatible processing. This benefits every digital source you connect – from network streamer to TV and games console. With technical knowledge learned from the A11 Tribute model, the A14MKII has a richer and more life-like sound than before.
The power to impress
At the heart of the A14MKII is a custom made, toroidal power transformer. Along with the four, slit-foil output capacitors, this gives the Rotel A14MKII deep, effortless power. With 80 watts per channel, the amp easily drives speakers to high levels – even in larger rooms. At lower volumes, you’ll notice the well-balanced sound that still has a smooth, rich bass response.
PC-USB connection, with MQA compatibility
For top quality, digital music, simply connect your laptop or PC to the dedicated USB-B input. Compatible with digital files up to 32 bit/384kHz, this is the way to hear your stored or streamed digital music files at their very best. The interface is also compatible with MQA and MQA Studio files (up to 24 bit/384kHz). You’ll find this increasingly popular file format used by high-end streamers, such as TIDAL, making the A14 MKII even more flexible.
High quality, wireless connectivity
With a Bluetooth receiver built-in, you can stream music from your smartphone, tablet or other compatible device, wirelessly. Compatible with aptX and AAC, it’s a high quality device that lets you stream music to a high quality standard – perfect for premium versions of your favourite music streaming service.
Digital inputs
As well as the PC-USB and Bluetooth connectivity, the A14MKII also features a wide range of other digital source connections. There are twin optical and coaxial inputs – perfect for a CD player, network streamer, TV and games console. At the front, you’ll find a USB-A sockets that’s ideal for media devices and playing back stored music files.
High connectivity
As well as all the digital connectivity, the A14MKII also impresses with its wide range of wired connectivity. There’s a phono input for a turntable with MM (Moving Magnet) cartridge, four line level inputs and a pre output for adding a larger power amp. More unusually, there are also RS232, external remote and 12-volt trigger sockets, all of which lend themselves to multi-room home entertainment applications – no wonder this is a Roon certified amplifier.
Handy features
A wide range of features includes two sets of speaker outputs, remote control, dimmable display and a 3.5mm headphone socket.
Timeless design
Built to Rotel’s high standards, the A14MKII is impressively solid. The clean, minimalist styling is timeless and matches a wide range of other components. Choose between black and silver for the best fit with your other hi-fi components.

Good replacement amp
I had difficulty finding a replacement for my old Meridien amp. The Rotel was one of the few in my price range with a balance control. The set up menu was frustrating but once done, all works well and the remote is good for minor tweaks. Sound quality with the matching CD14 disc player is brighter than with my old Meridien set up but that is not surprising.

Excellent sound, good features
As background, my interest in hifi goes back more than 20 years. I have owned many great amplifiers, including (most recently) a full Naim pre-power combination with external power supply. I also have a number of speakers, which I rotate from time to time. The Rotel sits on a quality hifi rack and I use quality interconnects and speaker cables etc.
I wanted to simplify my system and picked the A14 MkII as I liked the features and respect Rotel as a company - I have access to a 30-year old Rotel CD965 CD player, which still sounds great.
The A14 MkII sounds great, there is actually not that much missing between it and the Naim combo (and my children with much better hearing say the same...). It is perhaps a bit darker than the Naim but not enough to even try the bass/treble. The sound is balanced, transparent and has good (Naim-like) rhythm. A big difference is the volume, which seems much more linear with the Rotel - you need to turn it up to 40-50 (out of 100) to get to higher sound levels, while the Naim was already very loud around 10 o'clock and not much else happened beyond that. This requires getting used to and gives the impression that the Rotel isn't as powerful - but this is deceptive. The internal DAC also sounds very good.
I am sure there are other great amplifiers at this price but anyone interested in a fully-featured integrated amplifier around £1000 should at least consider it.

Well worth the money
The overall sound is excellent the only minor snag is that you've got to turn the volume control up to 50 to be able to hear anything but this is just a very small quibble. The sound overall is excellent.
