I listen 99% to classical music soprano/mezzo with piano. My existing system is a Rega Elex-R integrated amp with Apollo-R CD player, driving a pair of Kef LS50 speakers. I am looking to improve it. I tried replacing the Apollo-R with the Rega Saturn-R, but felt the difference was not sufficient for 3X the cost - it did became more detailed / clinical, but was surpised to find I did not enjoy it as much as the Apollo. For 1/3 cost of Saturn-R I could instead keep the Apollo and add a Rega DAC-R; or at 2/3 cost add a Chord Hugo. I today listened to the options in a showroom (but not with the Kef's), and found the Rega DAC-R gave further body and warmth to the Apollo sound, without the level of detail of the Saturn. The Hugo seemed to replace the Rega sound with an entirely new one, - detailed but smaller, without the warmth of the Regas. I have been advised that part of the problem is that I am used to the warmer, less clinical sound of the Apollo, and in time I would appreciate more the greater detail of the Saturn and the Hugo. I would appreciate any comments or advice.
