Cambridge 840C or Rega Apollo CD Player?

They are two completely different players. Rega tends to have a more laid back sound compared to the Cambridge. What are you matching it up with?

I am happy with Rega Planet, the Appolo predecessor.

But If I would buy now I would test if a simplier transport + Dac would get best results and with the added functionality of provider more digital connections...

I have Thiel CS 3.6 speakers, Bryston 4B amp and a passive pre-amp. The sound is a little on the bright side. I am planning on adding a JL audio f113 sub to improve bass response in a poor acoustic room for stereo listening and to double in a home theater system. I am also concidering a Jolida JD 100 tube CD player. Any opinions on the Jolida vs the cambridge or rega CD player?

Also curious about these two players compared. I own the Apollo (Mac 6900, Dali Spks). Only owned low end previously, it was a big leap in every way. Beginning to think about the 840C to get some liveliness into my system... I think I have 3 very laid back components. Have heard the Apollo is a bit bass lacking....but havent compared so I dont know.
