Cambridge 840C or Rega Apollo CD Player?

I am considering the Cambridge 840C or Rega Apollo CD Player. Any recomendations for the less than $1500 range? Thanks

But If I would buy now I would test if a simplier transport + Dac would get best results and with the added functionality of provider more digital connections...

The sound is a little on the bright side. I am planning on adding a JL audio f113 sub to improve bass response in a poor acoustic room for stereo listening and to double in a home theater system. I am also concidering a Jolida JD 100 tube CD player. Any opinions on the Jolida vs the cambridge or rega CD player?
