CD player upgrade

I currently have a Sony CA80ES 5 disc player. I would like to upgrade to a better cd player without losing the convenience of a 5 disc player. I have a Musical Fidelity 3.2 integrated with a Musical Fidelity a324dac as my other main pieces. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This thread is 20 years old so might wanna just start a new one.  That said, what’s your budget and are you looking for new or used?

@mellowshifi About 3 weeks ago I replaced my Audiolab CDT6000 with a Shanling ET3. No looking back. It's way above its $729

I've been using a Rega Saturn Mk 2.  I recently upgraded my turntable to the Mark Levinson 5105 w/ the Ortofon Quintet Black S.  In comparison my CD's are sounding overly bright.   Any thoughts on a comparable upgrade to my CD listening?

I second unclejeff's suggestion regarding the purchase of a D/A converter. You will find yourself spending your $$$
on a viable upgrade.

You can keep the Sony and invest your money in a real nice DAC. Then, at a later time you can improve the transport.
