Any DACs will improve my Rega Saturn?

Another DAC will not improve your Saturn, it will give you the sound of another DAC (and that of the associated cables required to connect it) !

If you want to seriously improve the sonics of the Saturn itself however,
(from direct experience with my own Uber Clocked Saturn: http://db.AudioAsylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=digital&n=142994&highlight=terra+firma&r=), I can wholeheartedly recommend the Custom Analogue/Vacuum State electronics Terra Firma/Uber Clock.

I like the VALAB DAC offered thru ebay. This unit in my system beats the Bel Canto DAC3 for sheer musicality. It is $200 delivered. You can read up on it on head-fi.org

I have heard VALAB in a few occasions that upsampling can produce better sound than the oversampling method in terms of high musicality, smoothness, no harsh, etc.. How about other areas such as detailed sound, mid range like female vocal, image and sound stage, and transparent compared to DAC3. I have read in many reviews that DAC3 excels in all these areas. I wonder how VALAB's NOS DAC sound like? which transport are you using ?
many thanks.
