REGA Saturn R MK3. CD player/ DAC
The new Saturn MK3 is housed in our latest case designed to match the rest of the Rega range. The Saturn MK3 CD-DAC player offers complete flexibility and integration into any audio system. Essentially two products in one, the Saturn MK3 houses a separate DAC circuit and a high specification CD transport. Both sections are fully remote controllable via the supplied Solaris remote control.
Digital mastering.
You'll find many connectivity options, up to 24bit-192 kHz. The Saturn MK3 has two optical inputs, two Co-Axial inputs, a fully asynchronous USB and a 'direct' digital output added from the CD playback section. This ensures that the Saturn MK3 integrates seamlessly into any system and is the perfect companion to the upcoming Rega Elicit MK5 integrated amplifier.
Features:
Wolfson WM8742 DAC.
USB 192 kHz - 24 bit asynchronous.
Enhanced output amplifier circuitry.
Improved digital power supplies.
Redesigned analogue and digital outputs.
Solaris system remote control included.
Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
CDP FEATURES.
The Saturn MK3 uses our proven digital-to-analogue converter and analogue output amplifier technology, together with a pair of Wolfson WM8742 digital-to-analogue converter ICs. The Saturn MK3 our own CD section power supply which was the result of research and development of our reference CD player along with improved microcontroller and display drivers.
TECHNOLOGY.
The Saturn MK3 uses a high stability master clock and high capacity power supply in the CD circuitry, a high performance PLL digital interface receiver, isolated digital inputs and a high performance power architecture in the DAC circuitry. Signal switching between the CD and DAC functions is performed in the digital-to-analogue conversion stage. The signal path of the CD section in CD mode is reduced to a minimum.
USB 192KHZ-24BITS ASYNCHRONOUS.
The USB input of the DAC has been enhanced with asynchronous operation at sampling rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz with a bit rate of up to 24 bits. The USB input has the same galvanic isolation as used on the Rega DAC-R. The USB uses dedicated drivers on the computer, allowing full ASIO operation, thus eliminating the signal degradation caused by generic Windows-based drivers.
SATURN MK3 XMOS USB DRIVER V2.15.0.
Before you can use the USB function of the Saturn MK3 you must download the Rega USB Windows driver and install it on your PC. Go to the download section of this website. Follow the installation instructions. Once installed, the USB is ready to use. This driver is not required for MAC OS.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR SYSTEM IS CONFIGURED CORRECTLY FOR HIGH RESOLUTION FILE OUTPUT WITHIN YOUR CHOSEN AUDIO/MEDIA PLAYBACK SOFTWARE.
If your PC does not have the default USB audio device connected, you must select the XMOS AUDIO DEVICE FROM THE SCROLLABLE LIST.
