Ayre CX7-E vs Rega Saturn; your thoughts please

Looking to replace old, way old, Sony XA20ES. Already sold a Cambridge Azur 840c (just not my cup of tea).

Amplification: Krell s-300i
Speakers: Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home (front ported)
Cabling: Audience AU24E all around, except...
Power Cable: Shunyata Taipan Helix Alpha for the Krell.

Any, and all input is gladly welcomed.

As always, thanks!

Another +vote for AYRE.  Happy Listening!

OP, I owned the Krell s300-i and found it to be very clear, precise and analytical. I would believe the Ayre will continue those attributes. If you want a more colorful presentation, I believe the Saturn might be a better choice.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a new cd player. Comments please. 

 

1. New Rega Saturn MK3 or a used Ayre Cx-7mp?
