I believe Harman/Levinson does not support the #39 CD player anymore.

Mark Levinson n°39 or dedicated DAC?
Hi,
I currently own a Mark Levinson n°383 (integrated amp) and have been offered to buy a 39 (CD player). A lot of my music is now stored uncompressed on a server and I've been looking for a good DAC for a while now.
The 39 has two digital inputs that would allow me to connect a source (eg. Ipod) and benefit from both my CDs and the stored music.
I know the 39 is not the youngest anymore but I'm still hesitating between buying it or move to full digital with a DAC like the one from Bryston. The 39 would be the perfect match with my 383 but is it really outdated. Technology has not evolved that much (lots of figures but lots of marketing too).
Anyway. What would you do or recommend?
Buy the 39?
Buy a dedicated DAC?
Alternative?
