The Rega Saturn MK3 showcases a meticulously developed circuit and construction, employing top-tier components throughout. Designed for versatility, it includes switchable direct input and preamplifier output options, enabling seamless integration with the new Aethos amplifier across diverse system configurations. The headphone socket is thoughtfully engineered so that speaker switching uses an output mute relay, preserving an unobstructed signal path for superior sound quality. Building on the award-winning Elex-R and Elicit-R designs, the Saturn MK3 elevates performance with a 125-watt dual-mono architecture featuring a fully discrete FET-based line amplifier, polypropylene capacitors in the signal path, K-Power reservoir capacitors, a regulated power amplifier supply, and a robust high-current stage driven by four 160-watt Sanken output transistors per channel. For connectivity, the Saturn MK3 offers two optical inputs, two coaxial inputs, fully asynchronous USB support up to 24-bit/192kHz, and a direct digital output from the CD section, ensuring flawless integration with any system and serving as an ideal match for the upcoming Rega Elicit MK5 integrated amplifier.
