Question About DACs


My CDP runs an internal Burr-Brown 24-bit DAC, and a Crystal Semiconductor CS8420 sample-rate converter chip that upsamples the CD data to 96kHz. It’s an older CDP obviously, but are the newer external multibit DACs, such as the Schiit Gumby and Bitfrost, far superior to what I have now? Or, would any improvement be a slight one? Thanks.

These forums are fun to read, but it’s just for fun with more opinion than fact.  Sometimes fantasy.
But still it’s part of the hobby. Addictive to some nice people that care to post and read. 

  My suggestion is to listen to
what you purchase first.  Measurements are useless compared to what you hear and like.  Like and pay for what you think sounds good.
 Today’s sales model stinks for those of us who enjoy shopping in a real world.
