Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII

I'd thought I made up my mind about getting a new CD player. I want something....more than I have. Currently I'm running a Theta Carmon into a Theta Casanova. I was going to upgrade to the Casablanca II with superior dacs but I'm not sure if that is going to get me much further along.

Anyway, from what I've heard these two players are the or among the most analog pleasant sounding CD players out there. I know I can order the Opus 21 and send it back if I don't like it, but I hate doing that.

I know I can buy the Capitole online for $4500 and sell it the next week for what I paid for it. I think the $3500 for the Opus is a good deal though. Especially if you think about the fact that it is direct and thus no 100% dealer markup.

I don't think I have either player in my area to test out.

Hi:
interesting enough i think res audio has been making some of the best digital gear in the world for a long time now,recently i had the opus 21 for an audition,just wanted to see what it could do against my older digital gig,the opus 21 was an outstanding contender,however no match to my older res audio transport and double quantum reference set up which is about 7 or 8 years old,even Jeff was somewhat surprised!
