Benefit of a DAC for a good red book cd player


I've a Rega Apollo CD player and I like it a lot.

Would adding a DAC be of any sonic benefit. Several people I trust and respect state that any changes would be sideways ones, at best.

If so, thoughts on a moderately priced DAC? (I realize "moderately" is subjective but let's say $5-600 or less.)

Thanks, guy (assume you're guys). Assuming a slightly higher price range, any other specific ideas? Tubed v solid state? Whatever I get will also be devoted to a computer based server. Wonder if there will even be quality cd players in ten years or will they be like reel to reel tape players.
Thanks so much. You folks are confirming what I have heard.

A related question is why so many of the higher end CD players tout up- and over-sampling.
