The Rega Apollo CD player is housed in a custom half-width aluminum case matching Rega's Brio amplifier. It uses a high-spec Wolfson WM8742 DAC, advanced discrete Class A output amplifier with low THD, and dedicated digital power supplies for improved error correction and signal processing. The top-loading transport with three-point spring-loaded ball chuck ensures reliable disc handling and optimized laser tracking. Supports CD, CD-R, MP3, WMA formats. Includes RCA analog, coaxial RCA digital, and optical digital outputs. Comes with a dedicated remote for full transport and amplifier functions. Known for balanced, organic sound with pace, timing, detail, and realism.
