Is it worth upgrading a CD player?

I’ve had my Marantz CD6002 for around 14 years and it’s still going strong. I have it connected to an Audiolab M-DAC+ and play via my Rega amp. I’m mostly vinyl but have started to playvmy CD’s more recently and wondered whether upgrading the CD player would be worth it or not, given the fact it’s played via a dedicated DAC. Am I right in thinking there would be little noticeable improvement?

@side22olto,

If you want the best bang for your buck, keep your player. The spinner and laser are good.  But I would get a good DAC and a digital interconnect. So much has changed in fourteen years with DAC’s it crazy. Then if you want to go farther, you can start looking at CDT’s.

All the best.
