CD Transport for Rega DAC?

Development of the analogue, digital and control domains ensured direct improvements of both analogue and digital outputs making the Apollo a perfect partner for the Rega Brio amplifier and an ideal ‘CD format’ front-end for the Rega DAC. Handrblock

The apollo is worth every penny. It was made to be used with the rega dac. I would not try any other combo.

Look for an original Rega Planet. Excellent transport!

Thanks for the input. I have certainly considered the Apollo, but I am not sure if the price is justified since I really just need a decent transport to go through the DAC.

IN an all REGA system, why not stick with a REGA APOLLO?

I like the PS Audio PWT but it certainly is not cheap.

I own a Rega DAC. One source I use to drive it is a Rotel 1072 CD player, which works fine. I think that any of the players you mention will work fine. They're all competent players (like my Rotel), with a decent coax digital output. I think you'd be very unlikely to hear any significant difference between them, so I'd just buy the one that has the features you want most. Get a good 75-ohm digital cable, and you'll be fine. (I've tried many, including exotics, and I can recommend the solidly built Blue Jeans Cable Belden 1694A with Canare connectors.)
