DAC questions?

I am currently looking to add a DAC to an Acurus ACD-11 CD player and being honest have no ideas as to what I should be looking for? What considerations should I take into account? How much is too little to spend and what becomes too much? Any particular features to look for or stay away from?

I am generally looking for advice to help take the sound to the next level.

I have my eye on a Aragon D2A, but not sure if this is waht is needed?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

My system can be viewed under budget minded, 'finally complete, not really???'

What processor is in the Acurus? 18bit, 20bit? You would want to move up in technology I would think. That means finding a 24/96 DAC or better. The Aragon is nice but older? Do you want tubes?
I would start with something like a mid level MSB and see if you like the change. They are easy to resell if you need to change the sound any more...
