Is a dac better than an new cd palyer?


I really like having a cd changer but would like to upgrade my source. Should I buy a dac or a new changer. If down the road i buy an sacd does the dac become obsolete?
My present changer is a sony c79es running through musical fidelity electronics with audio physic tempo speakers.

If you can find a good DAC used I think it would be the way to go. I got a Pass D1 and with any CD as a transport (even my old Sony ES) it sounds better than any of the new CD players I auditioned.
