The Brand new Rega Apollo CDP's uses the same electronic circuit found in its massively popular and successful Apollo-R CD player predecessor. Re-packaged in the latest custom aluminium case to effortlessly match the new styling of the award-winning Brio amplifier, the Apollo utilises Rega's own custom chipset and software offering a truly unique level of performance.

The Ultra-compact Rega Apollo is designed to match the Rega Brio amplifier in both style and performance. Underneath its aluminium body is a high-quality Wolfson WM8742 DAC which helps offer a better-refined sound than its predecessor & smoother playback.

Offering a top-loading CD mechanism that looks to have been based on the starship Enterprise, the Apollo couldn't be easier to load & offers a slightly more hands-on feel than most slot-loading CD players, just make sure you leave enough space on your stand to load the CDs.

Although some might say the design is a little simplistic, I think that the focus on the Apollo has been sound quality over anything else, this shines through when using the player which offers a truly musical performance.

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