I'm just home demoing a Saturn, attempting to replace a highly modded TEAC VRDS-7 which died, and you apparently can't get spares any more :(
The Saturn is good, no doubt, but it certainly doesn't match the former machine for sheer enjoyment and involvement. The TEAC had more dynamics, and was richer and more natural despite retaining most of the detail.
For all the Saturn's strengths, I've already noticed what you mentioned about it overemphasising male voices at the expense of higher female in choral works. It also finds the 'edge' of strings, rather than the 'body' of tone sometimes, which I dislike.
Maybe my ears will grow accustomed, but right now I'd go for less detail and more effortless musicality and enjoyment like I had before. Suggestions welcome :)
