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.

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,
