Where did you see the info about tube output?
I have no compelling reason to even think of selling my Rega Saturn at this time
Look at the link I provided - bottom of the page - number 6.
Only place it would use tubes is in the audio output.
The Rega Saturn is the source in my headphone system, and with the HD600 and Cardas cable and Bada 12 with the right tubes, I am getting great sound and unable to detect any problems in any part of my HP system. Each change to that system has been a significant step up.
I am not sure changing the Rega Saturn with any other CD player in the world would do much for me.

I like how they type; "WITH CRAZY EXPENSIVE PARTS SUCH AS..", "Ultimate high-end parts".
That's some serious salesman there.

6 says .... all original vacuum tubes but I think that is a misprint. There are absolutely no tubes visable on the board. The analog output info only referances a class A output stage for single ended operation and the balanced output uses the cheap, outdated 5534 op amps. Looks like the same output stage in my original E5.
