REDGUM RGCD5ENR CD Player & RGDAC5
Now SUPERCEDED.
But if History is your thing, read on because the Signature Series RGCD5ENR and its DAC, the RGDAC5, were first released in 1998. In fact, to be more accurate, how they have evolved into the RGDAC8 actually started back in 1997 with what was known as the “Ugly DAC-ling”. (This was due to its lack of a drive so it had to be given its ‘5’ a little later.)
Looking back to the story that continued on into 2019 …

RGDAC5 Signature Series DAC
The RGDAC5 has moved on with the addition of a USB input whilst offering the same design as the legendary RGCD5ENR (minus its CDROM drive and associated power supply).
ALL REDGUM CD Players and DACs ** have always had an additional chip to reclock and reshape the data – from the start, most unusual in the world of CD players!
So, when we say that this RGDAC5 unit will turn any, repeat “any” CD transport or DVD player with ‘digital out’ into a stunning CD Player! … well, we have yet to be contradicted!
Even better (in case you’re desperate), you can remain in your comfort zone by using the remote controls that came with “any” of them.

** Footnote re REDGUM CDP/DAC Reviews:
When reading any reviews about the REDGUM RGCD2, RGCD5/RGCD5ENR models, you are hearing about the sound of each related DAC model (when sold as a stand-alone product). In other words, to find out what a RGDAC5 sounds like, then read any review for a RGCD5 or RGCD5ENR (aka the RGCD5 plus a filter upgrade). And for the RGDAC2, read reviews for the RGCD2.

150W (8Ω) x 6 Channel Home Theatre Power Amplifier
Originally released as the award-winning* RGH900, this Home Theatre amplifier remains the same in all things (other than now claiming to be the first of that model number, i.e. RGH900-1). It is designed for the audiophile, with sonics that ‘flatten’ the competition.

REDGUM RGPH2 Phono Preamp
So you want to play your vinyl again, huh? Yes, a great way to start is with this little Phonostage that was tested in Bound For Sound magazine and rated as equal top unit (with another brand costing several times the price!!).
And, if you ever doubted that you could cope again with that pre-eminent downside of records (having been spoilt by CDs) …. as one customer puts it … “it has the ability to present record noise, clicks and pops and the like in a divided away space in the soundstage. Clicks and pops sound very clean and there is absolutely no trace of extra ringing or harmonic irregularities in the source material due to them. This is a wonderful result! The subjective outcome is the listener’s ability to get on with the music without having the inevitable surface noise getting in the way.”
REDGUM Stellulata (Integrated)
Nominally now the ‘baby’ of the family within the Amplifolia range, this little STELLULATA amplifier has had plenty of time to mature!
Back when the core REDGUM RGi35 design was upgraded to become the Signature Series RGi35ENR, even that move included the power supply and output stages from the ‘Best Buy Award’-winning RGi60, giving it plenty to ‘knock the socks off’ many 100W/ch mass production brand amplifiers!! Since then the RGi35ENR has put on a little more muscle, so what is now renamed as the Stellulata has a typical output of 60W/ch!!!
