I agree. Rega just released a DAC for $995 that's supposedly a lot better than the Apollo and better than the Saturn in a lot of ways. Not every single way. A few have compared them on Pink Fish Media.
I pre-ordered one from my dealer and will pick it up tomorrow. If it works out well, it'll stay. If not, I have no committment to keep it. I'll report back when I've got a good understanding of what it's doing. My dealer has a Saturn or two on the floor,so I should be able to A/B them, but it won't be at home with my own gear and room.
Should be very interesting. I've been waiting for them to release a DAC for quite a while. I just recently sold my Apollo.
If you're not interested in DACs, the Saturn is quite a bit better than the Apollo if you have the proper speakers and room to tell the difference. Worth it or not is a personal/financial thing.
