Saturn MK3
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 sections are fully remote controllable 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.

- USB 192 kHz - 24 bits asynchronous
- Enhanced output amplifier circuit
- Enhanced digital power supplies
- Redeveloped analogue & digital outputs
- Solaris system remote included
- Lifetime warranty against manufacture defects
Product Details
CDP Features
The Saturn MK3 uses Rega's proven digital-to-analogue converter and analogue output amplifier technology coupled with a pair of Wolfson WM8742 digital-to-analogue converter ICs. The Saturn MK3 utilises Rega's own CD section power supply which was a result of the research & development of their reference CD player along with the improved microcontroller and display drivers.
Technology
The Saturn MK3 uses a high-stability master clock and high capacity power supply in the CD circuitry, high-performance PLL digital interface receiver, isolated digital inputs and high-performance power supply architecture in the DAC circuitry. Signal switching between the CD and DAC functions is performed in the digital-to-analogue converter stage. The signal path of the CD section in CD mode is kept to a minimum.
USB 192kHz-24bits asynchronous
The DAC USB input has been improved with asynchronous operation at sample rates of 44.1 to 192 kHz with a bit rate of up to 24 bits. The USB input has the same galvanic isolation as used in the Rega DAC-R. The USB uses dedicated drivers in the computer, enabling full ASIO operation, thus eliminating signal degradation caused by generic windows based drivers.
