The Rega Apollo-R CD player is a refined version of the original Apollo, featuring a compact aluminum case matching the Rega DAC and Brio-R amplifier. It includes a dedicated CD remote with amplifier functionality, improved PCB layout, enhanced digital power supplies from the Isis CD player, and a discrete output amplifier with THD reduced to 0.0025%. The Wolfson WM8742 DAC ensures high-quality digital-to-analogue conversion. It supports CD, CD-R, MP3, and WMA formats, with both analogue and digital outputs, making it an ideal front-end for Rega systems. Now discontinued due to part shortages.
