Rega DAC vs Micromega MyDAC

Has anyone compared these DACs? I have been sitting on the digital sidelines using the Mydac experimenting with computer audio trying to understand what works for me. I have decided I don't want a computer audio setup and don't really care about the hi-rez format. Vinyl is my primary source and I don't want to invest much down the digital path. I have a Rega Osiris amp and wonder if the Rega DAC would be an improvement over the MyDAC? I would be playing mainly CDs through a transport.

Long term I would like to add a simple streamer that I can attach a external hard drive to and run from a tablet. That way I can organize and backup the files on my desktop. Any reasonable priced products out there that would do it? Alot of them seem to be packaged with hard drives and DACs, I just want a streaming device that will read the hard drive and feed a simple DAC.

Thanks for the responses, I would love to hear from someone who has compared the 2 DACs. The MyDAC sounds great for the $$ but curious if the Rega would provide more synergy with my Rega Osiris amp.

I have looked at the Sonos Connect and it looks interesting but it doesn't look like a hard drive can be connected to the unit, I would have to stream the music through the Wifi. Is this correct? also for almost the same price I could buy a Mac Mini and add hi-rez and home theater to the mix even though I wouldn't use it much.
