Rega Apollo - DAC / Player to beat it

One of these days, my Rega Apollo is either going to die or ill just decide I want something better. But by better, I mean significantly better. Using an analogy, not like looking for more power and going from 50 watts to 65 watts. More like 50 watts to 200 watts. I know, bad analogy. Basically sonic improvement that is obvious.

So, what price level, models, brands would I have to be looking at?

I'm using a new (not fully broken in) Oppo 105.
So far, it doesn't sound as good as the Apollo I once owned (at least on CDs).
A recent review (MAY/JUNE TAS) has me juiced about the new Bryston BDA-2 DAC.
It says that pairing the BDA-2 and their digital player (for computer playback) is something really special.
Take it a step further by adding the Bryston CD player as a transport and you may have your new digital front end...
