New CD player or DAC

I am interested in "upgrading" my digital signal. I listen to "rock" music on DAT & CD (about 50-50) Right now I have a Tascam DAT & listen to CD's on my Sony DVD player. I was wondering if I'm better off buying a DAC like the Link III for both digital sources or purchasing the Music Hall CD-25 or Cambridge D500 SE. As you can see my budget is about $500.00. I have been getting into more CD music so I may start to use the CD player more than the DAT, but I still need the DAT for my personal recordings. The rest of the system is DNA-1, CJ PV10AL & Vandersteen 2ce Sigs with junk cables. I'm also open to other suggestions for DAC's or CDP's & realize I need to upgrade my cables as soon as I figure out which ones to start with.

It's a matter of your budget.
The transport matters a lot but in your case I still would keep the Sony and get a decent DAC which benefits your DAT also. You always can upgrade your transport later which you should definitely do. A new world can open up with a high end transport!
Good luck!
