Help With My Next Upgrade Please

Thanks to the info gained here, I am now the proud owner of a Bryston 4B-ST amp, now feel I need to upgrade my CD player. I am currently using an older Yamaha 5 disc player (please stop laughing) and here are my options, please add or comment, thanks. Keep in mind I have a few hundred CDs and am looking to improve the sound of 2 channel playback. 1. Purchase Rega Planet 2000 2. Purcahse Sony SACD 777ES or 5 disc 333ES 3. Keep Yamaha player for now and add DAC like P3A (maybe even P1A eventually) These are the options, please advise, thanks.

For me, I like older tech but better build something like Theta tranport/dac or one box, a good transport (single)+ bel canto dac or Wadia. You can buy the Sony DVP9000ES for around $1100 which I auditioned last week I would say not so impress I prefered sound of the new Rega over DVP9000ES.

Miked, I've found P2000 more, contrast, air, open, transparent, and "full bodied", a good analog section. DVP9000ES is "lean" (ner) I'm not saying it's bad player may be it does many things all in one box so maybe it can't delivered all the best. that's just my opinion. Hopefully you'll find the match. Regards, Rute. P.S. What's a nice Amp you have!
