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.

The Rega is a very nice player but you should consider the Creek Evolution 50CD. It's a much better player and it can drive power amps directly.

I will look at that. Have read good things about various Creek products. Thanks for the suggestion!

Get a Rega DAC it's better than the Apollo, the Apollo has issues with reading discs as well. I had a Rega DAC R + CA CXC really nice combo frames the music like a good TT but just slight constrained in all parameters. Dynamic but never bright or brash and musical.
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.
