Totally agree with mattmiller. There are many variables in a transport to DAC setup.
A dedicated CDP in the $2000 range would be designed with a high quality DAC, transport, isolation, and master clock. The clock plays such an important role, since it is responsible for jitter reduction.
A used Ayre should be at the top of your list. Folks around here seem to like Marantz for SACD/CD.
There is a Marantz Reference for sale currently...
