I have $1200 for a CDP Which one and why?

I was really looking forward to buying the Rega Apollo until I saw the thread about the anomalies and problems with some of the units. I have a DK integrated and some new Neat Motive II speakers. I am currently running an older Onkyo CDP. I am not picky - I am not a sound snob (at least I do not think I am) I just want something bullet-proof, basic, with a remote, and a joy to listen to. I am new into this crack-like addictive hobby - so be gentle!

Spend it on a computer with a fat HD (or 2) and a Slim Devices SqueezeBox 3. CDP's are OBSOLETE.

Can't go wrong with a Music Hall cdp for around $500-$600, you'll have alot left over too.

Obviously Doak's response is not true.

What kind of cabling do you have?

Can't agree with that statement.

Mattcone, get yourself an Arcam FMJ CD23 and don't look back. Good looking, great sounding and well built. Simple enough to operate you don't need to ask a teenager's help. $800 to $1000 used. Buy some nice XRCDs or HDCDs with the difference. Live happily ever after.

Buy a used Rega Jupiter 2000 - sweet, detailed, dynamic, musical, involving - a pleasure to listen to for hours. And, the new Apollo seems to be depressing their price on the used market; a good time to buy.
