The Rega Saturn MK3 continued the style of the Saturn-R.\u00a0The device is made in accordance with the widespread concept of the last decade – the built-in DAC based on a pair of Wolfson WM8742 chips works not only for playing CDs, but can also switch to input signals from external sources.<\/p>\n
For this, two coaxial inputs, two TOSLINK inputs and an asynchronous USB capable of receiving signals from a computer are provided.\u00a0At the same time, Saturn MK3 can also be considered a switch.<\/p>\n
A variant with the output of a digital signal to an external DAC via coaxial and TOSLINK outputs is also provided.\u00a0In this case, although the CD and provides a resolution not higher than 16 bit \/ 44.1 kHz, the system handles PCM bit rates up to 24 bit \/ 192 kHz.<\/p>\n A highly stable on-board timer and an advanced PLL digital interface reinforced this capability.\u00a0The drive and the digital circuit received separate power supplies with a good power margin, and the signal output circuit from the CD was optimized in terms of the geometry of the conductors – their length is minimal.\u00a0In addition, the USB input received galvanic isolation – the same as in the high-quality Rega DAC-R DAC.<\/p>\n Prices for the Rega Saturn MK3<\/a> have not yet been published, but we can look at the cost of the previous Saturn-R, which in Europe was 2,200 euros.<\/p>\n [ratemypost]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rega’s Saturn MK3 CD player and DAC\u00a0will be\u00a0at the top of any home audio suite – at least that’s what its developers have said.\u00a0They say there are two reasons for this.
