Currently use Rega Apollo R alongside Rega DAC (wonderful DAC by the way) however although I very much like the sound of the Rega Apollo I have been somewhat exasperated by some aspects of its behaviour (not sometimes 'initialising' discs properly on startup, very un-user friendly remote as well - there's lots on google about this and its 'quirky' operating system) and would prefer something that is a bit less hard work! Also, I'm not too keen on the top loading aspect either.
Have been looking at the Arcam FMJ CD17 and was wondering if any other members have any experience of this particular player especially if partnered with the Rega DAC.
Looking forward to reading your replies!
