CDP or DAC?

I want to get back to playing and enjoying my 500+ cd's!  Been listening 95% of the time to a nice high end turntable $15k+ setup but would also like to have the option of listening to my cd collection to where it sounds at least competitive with my vinyl enjoyment.

I have no interest in streaming just playing cd's.   Does it make more sense to go with a cdp or transport and separate dac?

Budget $5 - $15k.  Thoughts

I use a Mojo Audio EVO DAC (base version) r2r design with a SimAudio 260DT (transport only version) . To my ears very engaging sound.

For what it is worth I had the Cambridge transport in my system prior to getting the Mojo and while it was a pretty good match with the EVO moving up to the SimAudio gave more body and weight to the music . I’d recommend getting a transport that is more commensurate with the DAC of your choosing- YMMV
