Saturn R CD/DAC player -- problem downloading Rega USB driver

About a year & a half ago I purchased the Saturn R.  I downloaded the USB driver & connected the unit to my audio system & PC (later to a NAS setup).  Everything went well.  I could play CDs & music files stored on the PC, as well as stream from the internet (which I do little of).  Then, about 2 weeks ago, something happened (perhaps related to the installation of a new PC) that caused me to lose the USB driver connection.  Since then I have been trying unsuccessfully to reconnect the driver.  Each time, when I check the Device Manager on the PC, instead of the driver appearing under "Sound, video & game controllers," it appears under a newly created category, "Other devices."  It is named "XMOS USB Audio 2.0" (which I believe is correct) & has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point attached.  Looking at "Properties," reveals a device status error:  "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)  There are no compatible drivers for this device.  To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver."  When I click Update Driver & search Internet & PC, none are found.  Any suggestions, please.

You've probably already done this, but just to be sure have you tried re-installing the driver using a recent download from the Rega site?  The relevant link appears to be as follows: 

http://www.rega.co.uk/uploads/documents/xmos-stereo-usb-audio-class2-driver-2022(v2.15).zip

Once downloaded, you would have to extract the .exe file that is contained within the .zip (which can be done with the Windows file manager), and then run the .exe file.

Al,

Selecting the link you provided appears to have produced the same .zip file that resulted when I downloaded the "USB Driver File" from the Rega site any number of times.  Nevertheless, you prompted me to give it another try.  Maybe I had been doing it wrong.  At first it produced the same result as I had been getting in my previous attempts -- files with error symbols inserted in the wrong place in the Device manager.  But I plugged away at it & eventually something worked, I'm not sure what.  There were still a couple of spurious "driver" files that appeared, but uninstalling them did no damage.  I noticed that the manufacturer, provider & digital signer of the new working driver file was Microsoft, whereas before I think it was Rega.

Anyway, thanks very much for the link & the inspiration.

Regards,
-- Bill
