oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ?

Had dealer install a set of wilson watt/puppy 7's. My system is small comprising of pass labs xa30.5 amp and x1 preamp. My source today is a oppo 105d. I got this since it works for the kids movies etc.. but I listen to 2 channel cd music through it. My dealer advised next upgrade should be my source to a dedicated cd player vs the oppo.
My question is .. lets say budget is $3k-$4K.. would people advise an oppo upgrade (EVS or Modwringht) or a dedicated cd player for the money ? Thanks in advince for any thoughts..

Have you considered buying a used Alpha Dac 1 for under $2000?

Fsyme. Quick question. I suggested a used Alpha Dac. You've had no comment on anything suggested. Reason?

Hi Bhobba. What DAC are you referring to?

Fsyme. If your 105D sounded a bit forward that may just be that it wasn't warmed up. As well, if it was close as you seem to suggest I'd recommend trying some AC isolation and condoning.

The_rang, for much improved bass ++; try an Equitech 2Q and tell me what you think please.
