Rega Apollo

Considering purchasing the Apollo. System is Schiit Freya preamp, Vincent SP-331 amp, Vandersteen 2C  speakers, cables and ICs are Anticables. Anyone familiar with how the Apollo sounds? Looking for a more "musical" sound, less "analytical" than my Oppo 103. Thanks.

I never had problems with my Apollo reading discs, but I haven't used it since going to streaming media.
You can also output to a separate DAC on the Apollo, should you wish.

I have an Apollo-R, very smooth analog sound, not harsh or bright.

I had an Apollo R and liked the sound of it.  Nothing harsh or analytical about it.  I never did a direct comparison to my Oppo players and I haven't had it for a while so I'm not sure if I'd say it's a significant upgrade over your Oppo, but I think you'll find it "warmer" and more musical.
