I saw the new 9K Rega Isis CD player. That's going to be a tough sell for a company known for decent entry-level digital and a lot of competition from companies with long track records at high-end digital.
Yep, Got them in stock now. I have posted a comparison between the Rega DAC, the Cambridge Audio DacMagic, and the Music Hall 25.3 DAC on my blog: http://www.uptownaudio.com/blog.htm
If the new Isis is as special as people say it is, they've probably redefined the value proposition for a high-end CD player. Of course, there will always be audiophiles into trophy audio and brand names who will not consider the Rega.
I've had one for about a week now. Best way to describe the sound is that it sounds like a very good turntable. A touch warm and smooth, but not artificially so. Everything my Apollo did, the DAC more than one-ups.
And it's solidly built. I'd say it's on par with my Bryston B60 in this regard.
