As far as I can see, no one has said that the Rega is worth over twice the price of the Oppo (and the Creek has not even been released yet). I'm ordering the Oppo and giving the Dragonfly to my wife for her Mac laptop. This is my office, and I will probably be listinging mosty to Pandora or a disc/thumb drive in the background so why spend the extra money. Plus I'm interested in Blu-Ray audio discs, and the Creek & Rega won't play those. Thanks to all who responded.
Creek, Rega, Oppo CD Player/DAC
I just purchased a Creek EVO 50A amp and a pair of Spendor S3/5R2 that sits on my office desktop. I also have an IMAC and an original Dragonfly DAC. I want to get a CD Player / DAC and see Creek will be releasing one soon, the EVO 50CD at $1500.00 and Rega has one too, the Saturn-R at $3000.00. My question is why would I buy one of those since I can get a new Oppo BDP-105 CD/DAC for $1200.00 that plays SACD and Blu-Ray Discs and has Pandora and I can attach a hard Disc or a thumb drive. I don't get it. Are Creek and Rega not aware of the Oppo or do they really sound thay much better?
