Rega Apollo


Considering purchasing the Apollo. System is Schiit Freya preamp, Vincent SP-331 amp, Vandersteen 2C  speakers, cables and ICs are Anticables. Anyone familiar with how the Apollo sounds? Looking for a more "musical" sound, less "analytical" than my Oppo 103. Thanks.

I had an Apollo R and liked the sound of it.  Nothing harsh or analytical about it.  I never did a direct comparison to my Oppo players and I haven't had it for a while so I'm not sure if I'd say it's a significant upgrade over your Oppo, but I think you'll find it "warmer" and more musical.
If you're looking for that type of sound, Marantz is also worthy of consideration. I have the KI Pearl and it outshines the Oppo players in terms of sound quality, details, and dynamics and has a nice warm presentation that's easy to listen to.
