Rega Saturn or Sony SCD-XA5400ES ?


Hi Mates,
Which one is a better player for stand alone Red Book CD play and just as a transport ? I am looking for full body, high resolution, smooth, organic, low noise and crystal clear sound. Any experinece, comparioson or advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks,

Hello Rrog,

Yes I did, CD only. 5400 versus Simaudio Andromeda and Eclipse. Simaudio superior in every way. But Eclipse was $5.2K and Andromeda about $13K when new, so much more expensive than 5400. Sim products had more body, sonic qualities were better in Sim (quality of timbre). Sony great midrange. Sony is a good value still. I have not heard Rega. thanks.
