I see, on the Rega web site, that they have just released the Saturn. And you can read the details there.

Am I the only person who saw this thread and came in expecting:

[jefemeister]

[BrianS]

Hmm the Rega page just mentions upgraded components and output stage.
No hidef audio formats or balanced outs.

 

[BrianS]

i was hoping for atleast balanced outputs...

Mikey01, thanks for providing the link. Now I have to work for it.

Have you ordered the Saturn yet?

LOL. Hopefully people ordering online won't get too many of these in the mail.

 

[BrianS]

they wouldn't be worth 1/25th of a real saturn

The Apollo has been treating my so very well, I wonder much better the Saturn can sound. I am very curious to say the least.

One of the differences between the Saturn and Apollo, is the number of DACs and DAC configuration.

" Two parallel connected Wolfson WM8740 dual differential Digital to Analogue converters improving the dynamic range and linearity. " -for the Saturn


" We have used the very latest highest performance DAC from our previous partners Wolfson, the highly sonically regarded WM8740 Sigma Delta 24bit DAC with differential outputs. Very latest Wolfson dual-differential DAC " - for the Apollo

I'm going to take a listen and see if it's worth adding to one of my systems. But I'm keeping the Apollo in one of my systems, regardless.

im glad we have quite a few apollo lovers on this forum

Does anyone know how the Appollo compares to Planet 2k?

 

[BrianS]

if i remember correctly,
rega planet 2000 is to jupiter 2000 as
rega apollo is to rega saturn

i remember reading or hearing someone *say* that the apollo was significantly better than the planet. note i did not actually hear it so take this with a grain of kosher salt
