Any word from anyone on AudiogoN about the new Rega Apollo R CDP?

I see the Apollo R is now on the Rega site and, as expected, follows the new compact look of the Rega DAC and amp. The US retail price seems to have increased from the previous Apollo's $1195 to $1495.

I don't normally put much weight into paid reviews so I was hoping someone here has had the opportunity to listen to the new Apollo. Does anyone have any first hand experience yet?

Thanks.

US Retail price will be $1095. From what I understand, Sound Org has not shipped any units out, but they will be forth coming this month. Hopefully my first demo unit will be here shortly as I have several people waiting to take a listen. Should be a great unit!

That's a tough call. The "old" Apollo is really quite a good player, and there are some good deals to be had on them currently. However, I imagine that new Apollo will have qualities that make it an upgrade and a great choice at it's price range.

With the newly lowered price of the Saturn ($1895), I think Rega will still sell them. The Saturn is a heck of a good player.
