Apologies that I cannot do a comparison here, but I do have a Saturn-R and find it to be one of the best CD players I’ve owned (and I’ve owned many of the higher-end Naim with HCs). I have just recently begun using its DAC (filter 4) into an NDX and find the more I have been listening to it the greater it has become in my system. It seems quite special in many ways. It has taken some time to get used to because I can detect in some unspecific way its sonic signature compared to my all-Naim system. Now I find it quite captivating. As for its CD playback, it is first-rate. I enjoy the heck out of it.
