The Saturn MK3 CD-DAC player offers complete flexibility and integration into any audio system. Essentially two products in one, the Saturn MK3 houses an independent DAC circuit and a high specification CD transport. Both sections are fully remote controllable via the supplied Solaris remote handset.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"heading-2\"\u003eDigital mastered\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou will find plenty of connectivity options, up to and including 24bit-192 kHz. The Saturn MK3 has two optical inputs, two Co-Axial inputs, a fully asynchronous USB and an added ‘direct’ digital output from the CD playback section. This ensures the Saturn MK3 integrates perfectly into any system and provides the perfect partner for the forthcoming Rega Elicit MK5 integrated amplifier.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"heading-5 uppercase\"\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bullet-list green-bullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Wolfson WM8742 DAC's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 192 kHz - 24 bits asynchronous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhanced output amplifier circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhanced digital power supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRedeveloped analogue \u0026amp; digital outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolaris system remote included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty against manufacture defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCDP FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Saturn MK3 uses our proven digital to analogue converter and analogue output amplifier technology coupled with a pair of Wolfson WM8742 digital to analogue converter ICs.

Signal switching between the CD and DAC functions are performed in the digital to analogue converter stage. The signal path of the CD section in CD mode is kept to a minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSB 192KHZ-24BITS ASYNCHRONOUS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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-\u003ci\u003eR\u003c\/i\u003e. The USB uses dedicated drivers in the computer, enabling full ASIO operation, thus eliminating signal degradation caused by generic windows based drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSATURN MK3 XMOS USB DRIVER V2.15.0\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you can use the USB function of the Saturn MK3 you must first download the Rega USB Windows driver and install it on your PC.
