Rega Apollo

Descripción

The Apollo can play redbook cd’s, CD-R, MP3’s and even WMA files. Its new remote even has specific keys which are dedicated for MP3 playback. It uses a three-point mounting ball chuck instead of a magnetic puck that is designed to help improve reading of the Cd by keeping it as flat as possible. The company claims this puts less stress on the mechanism for better performance during start up and stopping.

Their new servo controller is designed to make sure that the data recovered from the disc is of the highest quality, while the new chip set helps with jog and vibration resistance to maintaining top-notch musical performance. Also of note is that the Apollo uses the highly acclaimed WM8740 Sigma Delta 24bit DAC from its previous partners at Wolfson. Going with a CPU IC that is designed to keep data and address bus noise to a minimum helps to keep the ground and signal connections to the DAC very “clean”.
