  I love me some Rega Electronics! In fact just buying my second Rega DAC, which go for ca. 160 punds used and for my money knock the pants of my P3/exact combo with a good digital front end. Does not embarrass itself in the company of the Aethos, Nautilus 805/Dynaudio contour 20. If rega ever make a DAC that matces something like the Aethos, I’ll be first in line 😀

  Another great riff guys. Yes I have that exact model, it replaced a very old Marantz CD63 mk2 KI. No slouch itself. What a great musical sound it has….never mind all the HiFi stuff, well done Rega. P.s I run it through my Qutest too.

  Great riff. As an average audio enthusiast rather than someone who can listen to lots of different equipment, I had assumed that the DAC chip itself would be the limiting factor in sound quality.  It is interesting to learn that the overall quality is driven by the sum of the parts rather than one in particular.

  I&apos;m getting one of these tomorrow. I am very, very excited. I own the Magnavox cbd 650, which I got the other day for nothing, and it simply blew me away. So I&apos;ve been looking for a used one of the Apollo players for awhile! I haven&apos;t heard anything bad about Rega on reviews ever. ❤

  Stereophile put both the Apollo and Saturn in their Class A category.

  I have a rega 35th anniversary cd player and I have not heard another player for around the same price that has that same musical toe tapping analog sound the rega seem to get out of their players, my only gripe is they are sensitive and tend to skip with lots of bass heavy music when you wind the volume up, that is really annoying, but apart from that they can be really nice sounding machines

  The Apollo CD player hasn’t been available from Rega for more than a year.<br><br>In mid-noughties when I purchased the original Apollo it stood out from the competition and definitely much more musical and listenable to than my old Rotel 965BX.<br><br>I’m now using the Saturn-R, noticeable step-up again.

  .. did just that a year ago, same model as you were juggling. &nbsp;Dusted off my old CDs and now listening to whole albums again! &nbsp;Managed to source one from my local dealer who had had a customer traade one in, so I got it for a good price. Totally agree about the imaging and detail and it has that naturally warm presenatation like my RP3. &nbsp;I&apos;d heard that Rega were concentrating on their higher end models now, so any DACs they source will go into those models I&apos;d guess.
