The Saturn-R CD-DAC player offers complete flexibility and integration into any system. Essentially two products in one, the Saturn-R houses a high specification transport and independent DAC circuit. Both parts are fully remote controlled via the supplied Solaris remote handset.
You will find plenty of connectivity options, all at the highest possible resolution up to and including 192kHz-24Bit. The Saturn-R has two optical inputs, two Co-Axial inputs, a fully asynchronous USB and an added ‘direct’ digital output from the CD playback section.
The Saturn-R uses Rega's proven digital to analogue converter and analogue output amplifier technology coupled with a pair of Wolfson WM8742 digital to analogue converter IC’s. The Saturn-R uses a high stability master clock and high capacity power supply, isolated digital inputs and high performance power supply architecture. Signal switching between the CD and DAC are performed in the DAC so the signal path is kept as short as possible.
The USB input has asynchronous operation at sample rates of 44.1 to 192kHz with a bit rate of up to 24bits. The USB uses dedicated drivers in the computer, enabling full ASIO operation, thus eliminating signal degradation caused by generic windows based drivers.
