Best Streaming Amplifier Award, 2024-2025 – EISA

"By embracing modern streaming and usability features but not straying from its manufacturer’s ‘performance-first’ ethos, the RAS-5000 is a desirable addition to Rotel’s range – and the streaming amp market as a whole. A confident driver of loudspeakers courtesy of its 2x140W Class AB output, the RAS-5000 tackles all music genres with a sonic signature showcasing a powerful yet smooth, balanced approach.

"Versatile connectivity also impresses, with digital inputs including HDMI ARC, USB-B and Wi-Fi/Ethernet feeding its high-quality DAC stage. Playback is a breeze, either through Rotel’s own app, a DLNA player, or Roon, and icing the RAS-5000 cake is the amp’s meticulous build and informative colour display."

- The Expert Sound and Imaging Association (EISA), August 2024

Outstanding Product Award - Hi-Fi News Magazine

"The RAS-5000 successfully merges the core 'analogue' strengths of this longstanding brand with a tightly defined feature selection. Offering power, refinement and an insightful sound, it's a worthy alternative to more feature-laden units. While there is a lot of competition in this segment, Rotel's traditional take will surely appeal to hi-fi buffs not prepared to sacrifice all on the altar of TV audio and streaming."

- Jamie Biesemans, Hi-Fi News magazine, November 21, 2024

"The RAS-5000 is a successful combination of streamer, DAC, and integrated amplifier. The fact that it offers so many options for connectivity and delivers so much sonic performance should make it appealing to anyone seeking a single-box, high-performing solution. Making the RAS-5000 even more attractive is its HDMI eARC connectivity, allowing it to also serve as a home-theater hub."

"Combined with a contemporary design aesthetic, its clean, detailed, and dynamic sound gives the Rotel RAS-5000 a lot of street appeal. If that is not enough, the fact that the RAS-5000 is Roon Ready and the level of user engagement can be ramped up with a Roon subscription might just allow the Rotel RAS-5000 to make many a music lover’s essentials list this spring."

- George de Sa, soundstagesimplifi.com, May 1, 2024

"Clear and full-bodied sound. Deep, musical bass response. Expansive and precise stereo imaging. Tons of power on demand. Low noise floor. Versatile connection options. High-resolution audio support up to 384-kHz/24-bit."

"I was immediately pleased by the Rotel’s command of each speaker type and its penchant for expansive stereo imaging across content. Whatever speakers I connected, the amp seemed to push their respective soundstages to the far edges while displaying a clear and defined center image. Synth effects and percussion hits popped out to the sides or swelled from deep within the mix."
