The new Rega DAC!!! $995

I molested and heard it in action while I was in Dallas at Sound Organisation. Yes, it’s “all that”! The best under $1K DAC I’ve ever heard! Already own an Apollo or Planet CD player? Want it to trounce a Saturn? It will. Take advantage of the “cash for clunkers” program (Apollo $150 off / Saturn $600 off with trade in) and get both a Apollo and DAC for $1840. It will improve nearly any digital device in that smooth analog-esque Rega way. When? “Two Weeks mate”. Seriously.
