Burning question

Is my digital playback up to modern standards?
I currently have a Mark Levinson 31.5 and 30.6 digital playback system that has served me well for over 15 years. Two years ago I had it gone through with new power supply caps, diodes, rectifiers etc. that brought it up to new and maybe a little better. I am wondering how it fares against modern designs, and if I should replace it to get most out of my system. I exclusively listen to red book CS's. My replacement budget is 20K new or used. I would appreciate your feedback and suggestions for replacement if deemed necessary. The closest dealer to me is 100 plus miles away making in home auditions impractical.
My system:
Wilson MAXX 3
Pass SP30
Pass XA160.8
Transparent Reference MM2 cables.
Appreciate your input,
Richard

Thank you for your response, it is great hearing from someone with such expertise. With replacement in mind, I might venture into the world of streaming, high rez down loads, computerized audio etc., but allot to learn.

Thanks for your response. I do appreciate my analogue and have a pretty fair rig now.

Have a huge CD collection that would like to enjoy as much as I can, however when I want to really listen I break out the vinyl.

Thanks Rzado,
Those are basically all the units that I have been considering. Any ideas as to where the PS Audio Direct Stream fits in this mix?
