Ikke for at være en af dem der altid brokker sig, for jeg har sgu ikke lige råd til sådan en men synes det er noget af et overkill af en pris.

Det vel ikke mere overkill end EMMLABS, dCS, PlaybackDesign osv?

Der findes dem der laaaaaaaaaaaaaangt mere kostbar end den her, som garanteret ikke er et hak bedre

Det er selvfølgelig rigtig nok men for hulen hvor ville jeg gerne have sådan en maskine lad os nu være ærlig, men vil i den sidste ende hellere have en Mcintosh er vild med deres lyd.

Men alt er smag og behag og en tung penge pung som giver lange dadler

Hej vil hellere have den nyeste cd afspiller fra Rega... Den slår alt hvad der hedder cd afspillere efter diverse test verden over....koster selvfølgelig også lidt "50 k," men set op imod diverse andre der koster fra 100k og opefter....så se om i kan få Bent medlyd til at demonstrere den i nærmeste fremtid, jeg ved at der sker en masse på demosiden i denne måned fra Rega´s side....

Hvilke "tests" er det du referrer til, for jeg kan da ikke finde nogle test af denne maskine på nogle af de respekterede hifiblade/ forumer.

 The Isis is Rega's seventh-generation CD player. It uses two Burr Brown PCM1794 DACs, running in parallel dual mono mode, driving a high-performance discrete Class A current-to-voltage amplifier.

Rega claims this generates "an exceptionally wide dynamic range, low distortion and linear signal".

The analogue circuit is fully balanced from the DACs to the balanced analogue XLR outputs. Meanwhile, the digital section of the Isis is based on that used in Rega's Saturn model, with improvements to the mechanism, optical ampliifer, DSP core, PLL, master clock and motor power supplies.

A USB input is also fitted to the Iris for connection to a PC.

Rega describes the partnering Osiris as "a high-performance, 162W dual-mono amplifier housed in a custom Rega CNC machined aluminium case with high thermal efficiency heat sinks".

Designed around a 'minimalist' high-gain power amplifier and passive pre-amplifier circuit topology, a passive volume control and a single stage of power amplification between the input and speakers, Rega says the Osiris offers "unrivalled performance and build quality".

You can see see both flagship models in rooms 418 and 420 here at the show. Full details on the show website.

Nej det har jeg tilgode, men når man har hørt apollo og saturn...så kan det ikke gå helt galt...dem der tester kan vel ikke gå helt galt i byen. desuden kan man høre den her i marts under hjemlige himmelstrøg. Så kan man jo slæbe sin wadia med eller andre referencer med og blive overbevist..

mvh Kim

P.s. Påregner selv at høre den i løbet af de næste 14 dage..

mener du saturn og apollo, hvis ja.. så er der vist nok solgt rigtig mange apollo og en del saturn... og der har da været en del test af dem.. hvor bl.a det gamle High fidelity roste dem til skyerne.. og da hifiklubben havde rega cdér stod de til en demoaften og roste apolloen for at spille bedre end lynddorf cd1... men det var dengang de havde den i forretningen, nu er det vel lyngdorf cd1 man fremhæver...der skal jo smør på brødet..

her er så testen_:

Rega goes for the gold with the ISIS CD player/DAC
By Jeff Dorgay

Rega has established a solid reputation over the last thirty years now for building reasonably priced components packed with value beyond their price point. Rega turntables have always been a triumph of function and simplicity, with a legion of fans that span the globe. Founder Roy Gandy is a champion of giving his customers high performance without a high price tag, and didn’t even start building CD players until about ten years ago. His sense of humor is evident in their website, where it’s mentioned that Rega was “the last major high end company to build a CD player.”

About that same time Rega also introduced the P9 turntable. Then $4,000 and now $5,000, ten years later (with the tonearm upgraded from the RB900 to RB1000 status), this was Rega’s only entry into more expensive components. One of my reference turntables for the last few years, the P9 is a very special table, offering performance well beyond its pricetag, just like every other Rega product.

In 2008 that trend was continued with the introduction of the IOS phono stage and later on in the year, the Elicit integrated amplifier. Something was definitely up at Rega. Though still very reasonably priced in market terms, at about $3,000 each, these components were still a considerable step up from the Fono and Brio.

A visit to the Rega factory this year revealed a company more committed to performance and value than ever. Rega is a fantastic mix of 21’st century modernization and early 20th century craftsmanship, with their own spin applied. Towards the end of our tour of the plant, the group I was with was taken to an assembly room where something very different was going on.

A $9,000 CD player, from Rega?

That’s not a typo. Yes, that’s right, $9,000 for a Rega CD player. But it’s a very special CD player. In the past, Rega has always been fanatical about offering the highest value they feel that they can build. Because they only outsource a tiny percentage of their production, they have become very efficient and eliminate multiple sources of markup that eventually get passed on to the consumer.

They have not varied from their chosen path with the ISIS a single millimeter, however the focus has changed somewhat. The ISIS is the first product Rega has built that has not had a target cost attached to it; it’s simply the best player that Gandy and his staff feel they are capable of building, with cost no object. Coming full circle to Rega’s core values, the pricetag is only $9,000. The average Rega customer that’s been raised on P3 turntables and Apollo CD players ($800 and $1,000 respectively) is freaking out at the thought of a $9,000 CD player from their favorite British HiFi manufacturer. Has Roy Gandy gone mad?

If anyone should be freaking out, it should be the manufacturers of CD players in the $20 – $50k range. It’s definitely a contender and in typical Rega fashion, offers value way beyond its price point. Even if you haven’t had the chance to see them assembled at the factory, the minute you open the box, the attention to detail is apparent.

The ISIS comes packaged in a very sturdy yet tasteful mini-crate with the ISIS logo cut in the high-density, closed cell foam internals. It gives you the feel that something special is inside, without being extravagant. When you remove the 55-pound (25kg) CD player from the box, you know it. The massive aluminum chassis reveals a look not unlike past Rega players, with their famous “spaceship” top loading door and red LED’s on the front panel, but seriously fortified all the way around.

In addition to the player, a substantial billet remote control is included that is on par with what you would expect with the world’s finest audio gear as well as a pair of high quality RCA interconnects and a substantial power cord. I would value both of these items in the $500 – $1,000 range if you bought them as aftermarket items. A very nice touch I’d say, but I’d love to see you being able to have the option of them being terminated with XLR’s.

Which leads us to something else you’ve never seen from Rega, a pair of balanced XLR jacks on the back panel. This takes advantage of the ISIS having fully balanced, differential circuitry throughout. There are also standard RCA outputs for those requiring it. The DAC in the ISIS uses a pair of Burr Brown PCM 1794 D to A converters running in parallel dual mono mode. Analog and digital stages have their own separate power supply transformers and there are ten individual voltage regulator stages in the digital section along with another ten for the analog stage. This is indeed a very serious bit of digital hardware.

Those worried about the viability of the CD format and getting your player serviced in the future, fear not. Inside the owner’s manual, there is a signature from the technician that assembled your ISIS, another tech that QC’d the electrical and mechanical systems and the tech that tested and archived not one, but two spare laser units. I think it’s safe to say that the ISIS will last longer than most of its owners and I appreciate this attention to detail, with CD transport mechanisms getting scarcer all the time.

An outstanding DAC that happens to play CD’s, or the other way around?

As the market for high performance CD players is probably nearing its end, Rega gives you the option to use the ISIS as a USB DAC as well. Personally, I’d love to see an SPDIF input on this player, but considering the recent success of the Ayre USB DAC, I’m guessing this is not a deal breaker for the current crop of audiophiles that are more computer based.

While you might be clinging on to your shiny discs for now, the ISIS gives you the options to go both ways and that’s what makes the ISIS such a great value. The DAC performance of the ISIS was also outstanding when streaming files from my Mac Book Pro via the USB input, which is switchable from the front panel or the remote. The only serious drawback to the ISIS is it’s inability to read 24bit/96khz files and this may be the Achilles heel for someone wanting to make this player part of a more computer based system. With 24/96 files becoming the new standard, this will limit your music choices going forward. Personally, I see the ISIS in the same light that I do my Naim 555, a statement CD player for someone with a large collection of physical media.

Which $800 bottle of wine would you like with your dinner?

With the ISIS in short supply worldwide, the question everyone has been asking me is how does is stack up ultimately to the five figure players I have here as reference components? Damn good, I say. Comparing the ISIS to my reference Naim 555 was an interesting study in presentation. It was a big help that we had the ultra revealing YG Acoustics Anat II speakers around for the duration of the review. As part of a six-figure reference system, the 555 still had the ultimate edge in terms of overall analog-like smoothness, but not by a large amount.

Interestingly, the edge went slightly in favor of the ISIS in terms of tonal contrast and transient attack. When listening to the cymbals at the beginning of “Euthanasia Waltz” on Brand X’s Livestock CD, the Rega player offered slightly quicker attack on the leading edge, but didn’t decay as smoothly as the Naim. However, when comparing the playback of this track to the Wadia 781i, the ISIS had a definite edge in upper end refinement, though it did not have quite the subterranean bass slam of the Wadia. (Neither does the $32k Naim player)

But this level of tonal contrast is what I kept coming back to with the ISIS and I would say that is it’s shining virtue. It has more than enough extension at both ends of the frequency scale to keep the fussiest audiophile happy, with plenty of weight to the presentation, but much like the YG Acoustics Anats, the ISIS has a delicacy about it that few players at any price match. Acoustic instruments have a layer of texture that is unmistakable with the ISIS and makes the player a lot of fun to listen to. Spinning “Down On the Farm” from Guns N’Roses The Spaghetti Incident, you can really distinguish the difference between Izzy Stradlin’s guitar setup and Slash, better than I’ve ever heard on this disc. And of course your favorite female vocals will sound just fine…

Tonal accuracy is also a strong suit with the ISIS. Lovers of acoustic music will notice the extra layer of detail and tonal body that the ISIS provides. Going back through some of my favorite jazz standards from Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins underscored what a fantastic job this player does at nailing the tonality of acoustic instruments. Naysayers of high end digital will be taken back at how natural this player sounds with violin and piano.

Of course we’re splitting hairs here, but that’s the kind of things that people purchasing five figure CD players do. A bit of madness if you will, but all good fun. The ISIS is a player that allows you to make that last jump to where you become immersed in the music, instead of thinking “this is really good for digital.” Again, there are only a handful of players at any price that achieve this lofty goal.

Perhaps not for the typical Rega customer

The Rega ISIS is a digital audio player that is worthy of being on the top shelf with the world’s best components. I own a couple of those players myself, and after extensive listening and close comparison, this player delivers the goods. If you own one of these players, you probably won’t be trading in your Naim, Wadia or Meridian player for the ISIS, but that’s not who I feel this player is aimed at. If you are someone who has always lusted after one of those $20 – $50k players, but can’t or won’t write that check, the ISIS is the way to go. I’ve had the privilege of listening to most of the world’s best CD players, some with pricetags that you’d swear should be on the window of a Porsche instead of a CD player and I feel the ISIS will deliver 95% of the performance of the five figure players for nine grand. It’s well worth the asking price; If I had to start over, I’d buy an ISIS, pocket the other $20k and go shopping for a nice used Boxster.

With that in mind, the Rega ISIS has stayed true to their core values by offering a product that offers the best performance in its price class. This is why we chose this player as our Digital Product of the Year for 2009. It makes a stellar match to their new OSIRIS amplifier, that will be reviewed in the December issue of TONEAudio. And, yeah it’s that good too.

Ja, det er sgu' en seriøs test der inkluderer et billede af en eksklusiv oversized cigarkasse og en Porsche sportsvogn. Men næsten ingenting om hvordan en overpriced Rega lyder...

Formuleringerne nærmer sig næsten niveauet fra norske Fidelity...



Niels

Hvad er der nu i vejen med test fra norske fidelity, som nu også indeholder nogle af de gamle anmeldere fra high fidelity... bl.a Jan Nielsen..???????????????

Det lyder som en gammel sur gnaven mand, der har passeret 50, som udtaler sig sådan om en nyhed......hvor herre bevares....

Synes da også konklusionen nævner at den på ingen måde er i klasse med de dyrere apperater, som der henvises til. Ejere af de virkelig gode maskiner er ikke hvad Rega henvender sig til - er det ikke det der rent faktisk står i testen??

Hvilket betyder at den ikke er så god som 100 kilo, men en god maskine til dem der leder efter en cd spiller i 20 tiil 50 kiló klassen og det er da lækkert at der er en klar favorit her.

Mvh

 Hej Gbemi... du har ret at der bliver skrevet at de skal se sig over skulderen, de producenter der laver maskiner mellem 20-50 k. han sammenligner også med en $32k (150000)Naim player.. og  konklusionen er vel den at Rega ISIS går 95% af vejen over samtlige kendte maskiner , som anmelderen kender og har hørt... er det helt forkert tolket.. Venligst Brutalis

Du får sikkert også 95% af hvad den rega kan, med en hver god afspiller til 10000.
Hvorfor er det du hyper rega?

De sidste 5% kan betyde rigtig meget , ihvertfald for mig. Den er sikkert rigtig god til pengene.
Jeg skal da helt sikkert høre den , og hvem ved måske endda eje en af slagsen.
