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?

I love my Oppo, but I'm not a huge digital guy. I haven't done the side by side, but in my memory, it doesn't sound as good as my Bryston BDA-1 from a few years back, but better than any of the other DAC's I went though.

Of course, it also plays about everything on earth, and is connected to nexflix, youtube, my network storage, etc....

It's a great piece of gear.
