Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII

I'd thought I made up my mind about getting a new CD player. I want something....more than I have. Currently I'm running a Theta Carmon into a Theta Casanova. I was going to upgrade to the Casablanca II with superior dacs but I'm not sure if that is going to get me much further along.

Anyway, from what I've heard these two players are the or among the most analog pleasant sounding CD players out there. I know I can order the Opus 21 and send it back if I don't like it, but I hate doing that.

I know I can buy the Capitole online for $4500 and sell it the next week for what I paid for it. I think the $3500 for the Opus is a good deal though. Especially if you think about the fact that it is direct and thus no 100% dealer markup.

I don't think I have either player in my area to test out.

I have never seen an opus for sale. I heard there was one a month or so ago, but it was seen at 3am and by 8am the listing was gone.

I am assuming the seller got bombarded with emails, but maybe not, who really knows? Streetdaddy...was that you?

Used Opus 21 does not exist. Anywhere. If it did, I would expect it to be marginally discounted from $3500.
