Outdated CD player


After 15 or so years of not listening to my system I am now getting back into it. Made some big changes to my analog section and now I am evaluating my digital front end. I have a MacIntosh MCD 7007 that I bought new in 1990. I never remember it giving me an ounce of trouble and sounds OK to me. My question is, never listening to any other player, am I missing all the latest technologies? Will a newer unit make a big difference in sound? I was informed back when I bought it that this unit was built like a tank. Any suggestions? If a new unit is suggested, what would be recommended in the $1000.00 range, used?

I agree with keeping the player as a transport and buying a new dac, Bel Canto, MHDT, TADAC, Benchmark, move up in price for the Bryston or new Cary Audio that is coming out.

Huge improvement. In fact move your digital music to a server and run it through the DAC. Unless they are SACD, I find that just as good or better in most cases.
