Unique chipset...
I like Rega, I really do. 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.
