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?

You might get better focus in the responses if you named your DAC.  

Nevertheless I'll give the answer you don't want to hear.  Rather than tie yourself to an outdated technology, perhaps it's time to rip your CD collection and stream your music to your DAC.  It can easily be less expensive and provide better, or comparable SQ.  You can then control your music from a phone or pad.
