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!
