REGA - SATURN CD PLAYER in BLACK


Incredible Digital From A Company With Deep Analog Roots - The Rega Saturn

The new Rega Saturn takes the design principles of the award-winning Apollo and elevates them to a higher level. The Saturn includes two Wolfson dual-differential DACs, a higher precision master clock circuit, bigger and better power supplies, and very expensive audiophile-grade parts like Nichicon Fine Gold capacitors. This disc player will make the best out of older, poorly mastered CDs and when playing the newest discs, it will leave you breathless. Like the best analog rigs, this is one reference-level CD player you can listen to for hours and hours without fatigue. Black or Silver available. Listed below are new features found exclusively in the Saturn:

  • Two parallel connected Wolfson WM8740 dual differential Digital to Analogue converters improving the dynamic range and linearity.
  • The master clock provided by a High stability low jitter crystal oscillator module.
  • Substantial 60VA toroidal transformer with separate windings for audio, digital & display circuits.
  • High capacity power supply's utilizing Nichicon Fine Gold audio grade capacitors & fast rectifier diodes.
  • Digital to Analogue converters utilizing Solid Polymer de-coupling capacitors.
  • Nichicon Fine gold audio grade capacitors by-passed by Evox film capacitors are employed in the signal path, and in the audio sensitive de-coupling positions in the Digital to Analogue converters
  • Post DAC analogue amplifier and filter employ a Cascade pair discrete Class A amplifier using low base spreading resistance transistors.
  • The Post DAC analogue amplifier and filter is supplied from a low impedance supply, giving a tighter & enhanced bass.
  • Large double-sided PTH PCB with generous ground planes.

NOTE: Due to territory restrictions we are unable to sell this player in all areas.  Please give us a call and we'll let you know if we are able to ship one to you.

These improvements take sound performance far in advance of the already superior level achieved by the Apollo.

Features:

  • Unique high-tech operating system that optimises itself for each CD.
  • Brand new transport mechanism, with the latest signal processing techniques and servo giving the best data retrieval.
  • Super stable clocking ensuring minimal loss of wdata before the DAC.
  • Very latest Wolfson dual-differential DAC
  • Class A audio output stage.
  • MP3 and WMA Media capabilities.
  • Ultra high memory capacity meaning that error correction need not affect sound quality.
  • All new CDP Remote supplied as standard.
  • Rega custom built extruded aluminium case
  • Solid Aluminium front panel
  • TOSlink & coaxial digital outputs
