PS Audio DL3 Level4 Dac VS redbook player?

Hi All,
I listened to a PS Audio DL3 Dac with level 4 mods in my system and was stunned. Especially the 96/24 kHz oversampling mode was excellent, very natural. But I read here that a decent redbook player might be still better. Any experience? I would considder players up to 4k on the used market.
Looking forward to interesting advice!

Hi Dtsag,
thank you for your response!
I also thought about Ayre; is the C-5XE better for redbook playback than the C-7XE - for a person like me who owns no SACDs?
Another point: I do not have the possibility to go balanced (too complicated active system with unbalanced line amp and active cross overs); would you still think the Ayre is the right decision in this case?
I appreciate your advice! Thanks!
