I used to own the Apollo. One negative is that it refused to read many discs that worked just fine on other players. It was one of the first CDPs that would store the first 20 seconds or so in a buffer before deciding if it liked it, and it’s very picky, imo.
My recommendation is always to plunk down for DAC if you already have a transport, which you do. You will get more bang for the sonic buck and if you start using other digital sources, such as a streamer, you have more versatility
