Don't know if this helps but.....back in the day, I owned both the 2000 Planet and then the Saturn. The Planet blew away the more expensive Saturn and I wasn't the only one who thought that. Not just in my system, but someone I spoke with over the phone half way across the country felt the same. So, don't assume that the more expensive player will be better.
Is theRega Saturn a major upgrade over the Apollo
I have had a Rega Apollo for almost 4 years. IS THE REGA SATURN a major upgrade over the Apollo?? If so, in what areas?? If not..... what current CD player will outperform the Apollo, but be similar in sound??
I have considered buying a Peachtree Dac*it to upgrade the Apollo's playback sound quality, but it seems the DAC*it is adveritized as a unit for decoding computer files. The new Musical Fidelity V-DAC II is $100 less money and advertizes that it improves CD playback.
I have heard the Peachtree unit, but not the Musical Fidelity V-DAC II which I hope is much better than MF's standard entry level units...The MF budget phono stage is terrible. I will appreciate any input on the above questions and issues. Thank you
