Rega Apollo CDP CD Player

Description

Apollo CDP

The new Apollo CDP’s uses the same electronic circuit
found in the hugely successful Apollo-R CD player. Re-housed in our latest
custom aluminium case to match the new styling of the Brio
amplifier, the Apollo utilises Rega’s own custom chipset and software
offering a truly unique level of performance.

Analogue & digital outputs

Development of the analogue, digital and control domains ensured direct
improvements of both analogue and digital outputs making the
Apollo  a perfect partner for the Rega Brio amplifier and an
ideal ‘CD format’ front-end for the Rega DAC.

Compact case design

The Apollo is housed in our latest custom half-width case to match the Brio
amplifier.

The top loading mechanism offers ease of use and unrivaled reliability.

Digital to analogue conversion

The output amplifier of the Apollo uses the high specification Wolfson
WM8742 digital to analogue converter, the same integrated circuit found in the
multi-award winning Rega DAC’s.

Power supplies

The Apollo uses ‘digital’ power supplies feeding the CD processor, optical
block and laser diode amplifier.

This is achieved by using the same high performance, low noise power supplies
found in the same location within the Rega reference CD player. This
vastly improves the playability, error correction and the ‘inner core’ processing
of the digital CD ‘spinner’ part of the Apollo.

Output amplifier

The discrete output amplifier has a THD of 0.0025%, whilst at the same
time improving the overall sound quality of the output amplifier.

User interface

The user interface is controlled by using a dedicated display micro-processor,
which eases the workload on the main control processors giving an improvement
in the control code stability, usability and improved speed of initialisation
of the disc being played.

Dedicated CD mini system remote control

A new dedicated CD remote handset is supplied as standard which also has the
advantage of Rega amplifier functionality.
