Rega Saturn R digital download stick to the DAC.

I just purchased a very nice demo Rega Saturn R on Audiogon to add to my existing audio gear which consists of a Krell FPB 600 amp , Mark Levinson 38s preamp, Krell KPS 20i cd player , Krell B&W 800 bass alignment filer [2] balanced. B&W 800 Matrix speakers and all Straightwire Crescendo speaker cables and xlr interconnects. I really wanted to buy the Rega ISIS but funds are not there right now even for a used one. So i settled for a very nice demo Saturn R. I would like to also start steaming music since it has a very good DAC. This is something that i absolutely no nothing about. Not even where to start from. The only thing i read about the Saturn R about that is i will need to download a digital stick for the DAC to start with. With that said does anyone who has a Rega Saturn R know how to or where to find how to download this digital stick ? Very confused as i tried researching this but it only says that you need to download this stick and not where to find this to download. Any info will be very much appreciated

I own a Rega Saturn-R. IMHO it is a very good sounding CD player and the multi-input DAC works very well for everything I'v connected to it. That said.......

I have no idea what you are talking about regarding downloading a digital stick. I've connected an Apple laptop via USB, a Windows laptop via USB, a bluetooth receiver via both optical and coax cables and a Nuforce iDO iOS adapter via coax. I did not need to download anything to get any of these connections working.

What device(s) are you trying to use to stream to the Rega Saturn-R?

Since you bought a "demo", was there a dealer involved? If so, part of their "value add" should be assisting you with setting up your system. Can you leverage your dealer for assistance?

Hi Reubent. I was talking about downloading the USB driver file that Rega says has to downloaded to your computer . I was told when i get the cd player connect it to my computer with a USB cable so that the download file from the computer hard drive will move to the hard drive on the Rega ..Im brand new at streaming. This will be my first experience . Can you recommend any kind of streaming devices? or streaming services?
