Rega Apollo vs Naim CD5i vs Arcam CD73T

Anyone compared these? I'm looking for a good CDP and I would like to stay around a grand or less if possible, but if there is significantly better performance to be had I can go as high as $1500, which is about what I can get the Naim for.

I've been using the digital outputs from my DVDP's (both suck with RB CD's)to my Arcam AVP-700 and it does a nice job, but I'm thinking a good stand alone player in a direct mode through the analog inputs might be better.

Comments, suggestions, recommendations please.

At the price points on these its basicly 2 $1000 players against the Arcam which is about 400 used.

Actually, it's a $1700 and $1000 player against a $700 player.

Have the CD5i in my system and am extremely happy with my decision. Also had a chance to hear the Apollo and it's also a very good CDP and I can see why many like it so much. But, I like mine better.

I was just being general,actual money figures make it even clearer that you get what you pay for.
