Generally speaking, carousel players make poor transports. They tend to produce high amounts of jitter. For less than what you'd end up spending on a quality DAC and a high quality interconnect, you'd likely get better results with a new single CD player. Some of the new units from Arcam, Musical Fidelity, Sim Audio, to just name three, are achieving sound quality that would cost and order of magnitude more just a few years ago.
If you tell us your budget, I, and perhaps others, can recommend some units.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
