Add DAC or mod player?

Need advice. I have an older, but well respected cd player, the Arcam FMJ23T. I can either have a well known company mod/upgrade the parts of the player (master clock, resistors, power supply, chassis dampening and more) or for a little more money, I can buy a decent DAC (for example, Chord Qute) and use the player as a transport. Any thoughts?

I would go the DAC route. The QuteHD with a nice linear power supply is very nice. I thought I was going to use my transport for ever but once I experimented with PC based music, there is no looking back!

The QuteHD gave me the chance to try out USB based computer audio and one thing led to another. Believe it or not, but you can get great sound from a computer.
