Creek, Rega, Oppo CD Player/DAC

I just purchased a Creek EVO 50A amp and a pair of Spendor S3/5R2 that sits on my office desktop. I also have an IMAC and an original Dragonfly DAC. I want to get a CD Player / DAC and see Creek will be releasing one soon, the EVO 50CD at $1500.00 and Rega has one too, the Saturn-R at $3000.00. My question is why would I buy one of those since I can get a new Oppo BDP-105 CD/DAC for $1200.00 that plays SACD and Blu-Ray Discs and has Pandora and I can attach a hard Disc or a thumb drive. I don't get it. Are Creek and Rega not aware of the Oppo or do they really sound thay much better?

All good thoughts.
The new Rega Saturn is a killer DAC (for streaming/computer audio apps) 1st and foremost , with a built-in CD transport.

The price point seems to be $5K at the present time, as far as, stepping up to the next level of CD/SACD performance.
