What DAC can improve REGA Saturn?

I have a REGA Saturn and wonder if I can improve it with an external DAC

With an external DAC you won't get better, maybe just different instead. And the Saturn doesn't make for an especially great transport, so I'd consider selling the Saturn and being rid of it if you don't like it. Too expensive to justify wasting away as a transport. What don't you like about it?

But that "unique" chipset is a DVD player in disguise. "Initialising"... don't all DVD players do that? Same for the quiet scanning "feature". DVD players don't scan redbook well. And that cheap top-loading prong design is the same found in my 20 year old JVC CD "boombox" and my $10 Circuit City portable. What's special about the Saturn is the sound. The rest is a bit hype and marketing redirection.
