can i improve my system with a better cd player?

I upgraded just about everything except my cd player. I just use my old sony dvp s7000 as my cd player. In the past I thought all cd player were the same until yesterday when I tried using my ps3 as the player. I instantly heard a big difference. Now I'm thinking I can actually improve my sound by buying a new player can someone recommend something under 500 buciks? I like buying used since my system is dated itself but it still sounds decent to me.

I am a little confused. You mentioned playing DTS CD and DSP-A1. Would
that be the Yamaha DSP-A1? And are you using the CD player as a transport
and let the DSP-A1 do all the decoding? If my assumption is correct. You
don't really need something with a great analog output stage and my
suggestion will be an Oppo BDP-93 for $500 new.
