Cal Audio Alpha 24/96 upgrade?

I have a Cal Audio Alpha Dac, and I am wondering if it is worth having the 24/96 upgrade done. Is it worth the cost, ($450)? Will it make that big of a difference? Or is it money that should be saved for something else? by the way, I am using a Cal Audio Delta CD Transport.

Thanks in advance.

Sean,

What kind of tubes would you recommend to try? I don't know alot about the different ones.

Thanks

Camadeco,
Thanks for the input. What kind of differences did you hear over the stock tubes with the others? Where did you get them? and how much do they cost. I think for now, this might be my best approach.

You are also recommending a CD player instead of seperates?
I don't have much experience with the hi-end players.

Thanks for all of the great advice everybody, I think I will be trying some different tubes for now. Later on I might consider a better player, or maybe a combo dvd/cd like the Cal CL-20 or equal. Has anyone used this player? and does it sound as good or better than my Alpha/Delta?
