I think you got yourself a steal...
In my bedroom system, I replaced a Modwright/ Perpetual Tech. P3A and Modwright/ Sony 7700 with the Consonance cd120 and felt it to be basically a lateral move.
I found the CD120's 24bit/192KHz sigma-delta upsampling DAC detailed, extended and yet still pretty smooth.
I haven't heard the Rotel, but this CD player is a real contender in its price range. I use it with another Chinese import--the Jungson 88c integrated. Makes for a great partnership.
