Rega dedicated extensive effort to the design and construction of the Saturn MK3, employing premium components throughout. Its flexible features include switchable direct input and preamplifier output, allowing seamless integration with the new Aethos amplifier across diverse system configurations. The headphone output incorporates speaker switching via an output mute relay, preserving an unobstructed signal path for uncompromised sound quality. Building on the acclaimed Elex-R and Elicit-R designs, the Saturn MK3 advances performance with a 125-watt dual mono architecture, featuring a fully discrete FET line amplifier, polypropylene capacitors along the signal path, K-Power reservoir capacitors, a regulated power amplifier supply, and a high-current output stage using four 160-watt Sanken transistors per channel. Digital connectivity is comprehensive, supporting up to 24-bit/192 kHz with two optical inputs, two coaxial inputs, a fully asynchronous USB, and a direct digital output from the CD section, ensuring flawless integration and making it an ideal match for the upcoming Rega Elicit MK5 integrated amplifier.
