Rega Saturn-R; Any impressions?


I'm wondering if anyone has listened to the new version of the Rega Saturn. How does it compare to the original Saturn? Is it the same except for the digital inputs? Concerning the digital inputs, is the DAC section an improvement over Rega's standalone DAC? How does the DAC section compare to the other famous modern DACs such as the PWD II, W4S, Bryston BDA-2 ?

You're welcome, Jeff. Rega and Arcam have been my mainstays for the last 7-8 years.
Actually, Jeff, I can tell you this. I've been having some conversation on this topic with a guy at a different forum. He is also a big Rega fan and has a complete Rega system. He says he tested the combinations thoroughly and that the Saturn-R is equivalent to the original Saturn fed through the standalone DAC. It makes sense.
