Are DACs superior to top-graded regular CD Players

I have no prior experience with DACs,but am considering purchasing one. Thus far, I have only listened to CD Players, not separate DACs. Do you recommend a good-to excellent DAC over a good-to excellent CD Player? Why or why not?

What I am able to offer is that I've heard NO CD player sound as good or better than what I'm getting out of my digital front end, particular when playing well done high resolution music files.

You are embarking on an endeavor that, at times, will prove challenging but will ultimately be well worth the time, money and effort expended. This IS "the future."
