General description<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The Rega Saturn-R combines a high-quality CD player with an independent digital-to-analog converter (DAC). With two optical and two coaxial inputs, an asynchronous USB input and a direct digital output for CD playback, the unit offers various connection options. The DAC section uses two Wolfson WM8742 chips and an improved output amplifier circuit. The Saturn-R comes with the Solaris remote control, which allows control of both the CD player and the DAC section. <\/span><\/div>\n
Background information<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The Rega Saturn-R is designed with a focus on musical integrity and reliability. Its digital heart includes Rega’s proprietary CD transport and a high-quality DAC section based on the Wolfson WM8742 chip. Developed by Rega’s engineering team led by Roy Gandy, the unit combines a CD player with a standalone DAC for maximum flexibility. The housing is solid aluminum, internally wired with Rega’s proprietary design for optimum signal purity. Manufacturing takes place entirely in the UK with carefully selected components. <\/span><\/div>\n
Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Rega was founded in 1973 by Roy Gandy, a mechanical engineer with a passion for music and vinyl records. Gandy began building turntables as a hobby, applying his engineering knowledge to create high-precision equipment. The name “Rega” is a combination of the first two letters of his first name and last name. <\/p>\n

In the early years, Gandy worked from a small workshop and produced the first turntables with limited resources. The brand gradually gained recognition in specialized circles for its attention to detail and high quality standards. Rega remained true to manufacturing in the United Kingdom, with a focus on craftsmanship. <\/p>\n

In addition to Gandy, Terry Bateman, who joined the company in 1981, played a crucial role in the development of electronic components. The brand continued to evolve with contributions from a small, dedicated team. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
