CD transports

I recently started running my CD player ( Luxman D380) through my external DAC and have found a significant sonic improvement.  I wonder if I would achieve further improvement in sound quality if I traded in the Luxman and bought a dedicated CD transport ( price range 3-4 K ).

Has anyone gone down that rabbit hole?

Thanks for the tips.  One of the Pro-ject dealers warned me about quality issues with the Pro-ject transports.  He has had 4 defective units and is planning to drop them as a result.  Wonder if anyone else has heard similar complaints.

Sure, no problem.  Its a Bricasti M3.  My amplifier Leben CS600, and Speakers DeVore O93.

Yes there is another issue: space.  The Luxman is huge and my space is shrinking shortly.  You know the downsizing thing we all go through.  Probably going to move to smaller quarters in the near future.

The Cyrus gets great reviews, but there seem to be a lot of complaints about quality and breakdowns
