Improve the sound of my CD Player?

I have a Marantz 67SE going to my Lexicon DC1, I’m using the digital out because the DC1 converts everything to digital anyway. From what I’ve read here, and other places, I should do other things first before getting a new transport. This is where I am looking for help, what can I do to improve the sound of my system – short of replacing the DC1, (don’t want to spend that kind of money yet). If I get an inexpensive DAC I assume I will have to have the analog output go to my amps (Monarchy Deluxe 100) because sending it to the DC1 will defeat the purpose of the DAC. If I do this I would guess the DAC would have to have a volume control. I do not have much experience with 2 channel so any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil

Ljgj--have you used the Taddeo unit you mentioned?? I've been tempted to get one, but wonder if it really does anything. Thanks

Ljgj--Acoustic Research,,,not Audio Research, but thanks--and I think I am confused--I figured TDS and Taddeo were the same company or process, but you distinguish between the two. So it was the Acoustic Research TDS unit at Audio Advisor that I was asking you about and if I am getting this right (I hope!) you are saying TDS and Taddeo are not the same thing, and Taddeo is good (basically) and TDS is a mixed bag. Thanks for the clarification and saving me a mistaken purchase!
