This aspect of its performance is another feather in its cap, as is the integration of HDMI (with CEC control) to make Rotel’s all-in-one an effective TV audio solution as well as a provider of musical delights. Simply switching on my TV woke up the amplifier, with sound arriving so quickly you’ll probably still be scrolling through the list of content on whatever streaming service or broadcast platform you prefer.

Many buyers of the RAS-5000 won’t be using it in this manner, but its abilities meant it delivered music-driven content, such as Sacha Jenkins’ Black & Blues documentary focused on the life of Louis Armstrong [Apple TV, stereo], in a lush, engaging way far superior to that of a flatscreen TV or soundbar. The nightclub ambience in the (sometimes very old) archive video and tape recordings was palpable. So, while Rotel’s RAS-5000 is an accomplished music performer first, it’s certainly eager to please when pressed into other duties.
